Ten Miles of Spring Breeze in Red Mansions

The visitor was very excited when he saw Yan Ji at the bow of the boat. He grabbed his shoulder and said, "Is it Brother Ji? His eyebrows and eyes are exactly the same as those of your mother. Good boy, we have not seen each other for so many years."

Several people followed him, saying repeatedly, "Master, slow down."

It turns out that this is Ming Yifeng, the son of Prince Guang. He saw that although Yan Ji was pretty and looked like his biological mother, he was not feminine at all, and he had a stable temperament, so he was very happy.

Yan Ji saw that it was his mother's brother, and his uncle, whom he had never met, came to pick him up in person, so he hurriedly bowed his knees to salute, "My nephew has seen his uncle, but his uncle came in person, my nephew is really terrified."

"You and my nephew, why bother to talk about these empty etiquettes." Ming Yifeng, the son of Prince Guang, hurriedly stopped him and said, "There is no need to be formal outside, and you will kowtow when you return to the mansion. Brother Yu, come see your brother soon , I'm sorry you haven't seen it since you were young."

"It's not too late to see you today." His eldest son Ming Boyu turned around from behind him, and said with a smile, "I came up a long time ago, but my father only has his cousin in his eyes, and he forgot about me."

As he spoke, he exchanged greetings with Yan Ji, "Is the journey going smoothly, cousin? Is aunt okay? Didn't you get seasick? It's inconvenient to board and live on the boat, and everything has been prepared in the house, just waiting for you to come. After asking more than a dozen times, I finally followed up."

He spoke one sentence after another, very enthusiastically, showing the lively and cuteness unique to young people.

Yan Ji, however, was a mature young man, with a smile in his eyes, and said in a gentle voice, "Grandfather is so concerned about me, what should I do? I will be filial to his old man in the future. The journey has been smooth, and my mother is on the official ship at the back, and everything is fine. Brother took care of us."

The two of them stood apart before not being noticeable, but now they stand together, they both have big almond eyes of the Ming family, looking like they are brothers.It's just that one is calm and the other is detached, with very different personalities.

Ming Yifeng was even more delighted, and said to Yan Ji, "Brother Ji, the frame is all arranged, let's invite your mother to get off the boat."

Yan Ji still remembered Lin Daiyu, and hurriedly apologized to Ming Yifeng, "Uncle, please forgive me. It was Miss Lin Zhu, the head of Yangzhou Yanyan Censor Lin, who was walking with us, and her grandparents Rongguo Mansion also came. , it’s better to let her get off the boat and board the car first. Besides, I’ll also ask who’s coming to pick me up, so I can talk to my mother and reassure her.”

"Your mother was close to the Lin family in the past. Since that's the case, you have arranged for Miss Lin first, and Brother Yu and I will wait for you in the car." Ming Yifeng has a straightforward temper, so he agreed immediately.

Yan Ji sent him respectfully all the way to the car, then turned to Jia's house, saw only the luggage cart and a small sedan chair, and saw no master except the servant, felt suspicious, and ordered his personal servant, Smo, to say: , "Go and ask, who is the Jia family who will pick up Miss Lin."

Si Mo went away for a while, then replied, "Master, I asked the driver, and he said that the Rongguo Mansion sent a few of them here, and there are a few women under the shade of the tree."

Yan Ji knew Lin Daiyu since he was a child, and he regarded Lin Daiyu as his sister on weekdays, and Jia Min loved him very much when he was alive. Now that the rich and precious young lady has come from thousands of miles away, there are only a few servants who come to pick him up.

Yan Ji immediately said with a sullen face, "The Rongguo Mansion is Miss Lin's maternal ancestral home after all, how can you be so rude, just these few servants who don't know their roots, and they haven't even sent a cousin? Don't pretend to be Jia The people in the government are actually kidnappers, you take people to tie them up, and send them all to the government office for torture."

Lin Daiyu was saying goodbye to Princess Boping when she suddenly heard a commotion outside, cursing and begging for mercy, Ming Yilan said, "Madam Liu, go and have a look, what's going on."

Nanny Liu hurried out of the cabin, asked carefully what was the matter, and came back to report to Ming Yilan, "Princess, the uncle has lost his temper."

Knowing a son is like a mother, how could Ming Yilan not know that his son is a good-tempered son, so he wondered, "Why?"

Liu Nanny glanced at Lin Daiyu, and sighed, "When my uncle saw someone coming to pick up Miss Lin from the Rongguo Mansion, he asked who came to pick him up, but it turned out that they were still just a few third-class servants. Seeing that Miss Lin has been wronged, what do you do?" Can you not lose your temper."

Ming Yilan sneered and said, "What am I supposed to do? I have never seen Rongguo Mansion act like this in Jiangnan and Nanjing. Baba's repeated urges and four invitations sent these cats and dogs here. Tell me, he How to deal with it? He is not a kid who gets angry and forgets."

The corners of Liu Mama's mouth couldn't help but curl up, "Uncle is really tricky, he said that those people are probably kidnappers, and they are calling to be sent to the officials."

Lin Daiyu was moved by the protection of Yan's mother and son, but also sad by Jia's neglect. She lowered her head and said, "It's causing trouble for the princess again."

"It's okay, what a delicate girl you are, Brother Ji is right. Is it possible that whoever comes to pick you up, I will ask someone to pick you up? Let's wait on the boat." Princess Boping comforted her.

Grandma Liu thought of Ming Yifeng who came to pick her up in person, her face inevitably had a look of joy, "Princess, don't be annoyed, I will tell you one thing, you will be happy. The eldest son came to pick up the princess in person, and brought Brother Yu to wait here On the shore, I don’t know how happy to see our uncle.”

Ming Yilan's eyes turned red, "Brother still loves me like this, please run again and stay with me and brother, let him wait a little longer."

No matter how magnanimous Lin Daiyu is, but now because of her own affairs, she has asked Prince Guang and the princess to wait and cannot see each other, and secretly complains in her heart that the Jia family is not doing well.

Outside, Yan Ji commanded the people of the princess's mansion to tie up the third-class servants tightly, and then took off the sedan chair, pretending not to know, and let a boy with a horse go.

The boy rushed to reply all the way, and found the housekeeper Lai Dao, "Grandpa Lai is not good, the people who went to pick up Miss Lin were all detained by the people of Boping County Lord's Mansion, saying that we are kidnappers, and we will be arrested." Seeing the officer, I ran fast and escaped, and the others were all tied up."

Lai Da frowned and said, "Princess Boping, I went to drink a few days ago. I heard that for this princess, the Guangwang family is preparing to welcome her with a big battle."

"Grandpa Lai, please come up with a solution. It will be bad if the old lady finds out."

Lai Da stared, "You're not good, you shut your monkey mouth, the old lady will know? Wait, I'll go ask Lian Erye."

When Jia Lian brought people to the shore to pick up Lin Daiyu again, the servants of the Rongguo Mansion were already sweating profusely in the sun, and they were in a panic. Seeing Jia Lian, they all begged for help, "Second Master Lian, please help us, if sunburned."

Jia Lian felt very ashamed and shouted in a low voice, "Shut up, sir!"

Ming Boyu was impatient and got out of the car early to talk to Yan Ji. At this time, he saw a young man in brocade clothes rushing over. Although he was handsome, he looked like a dandy. Which family's master? Don't be the leader of the kidnapper pretending to come here."

Even though Jia Lian is a flirtatious dude, his brain is still active, guessing that the person speaking probably has something to do with Princess Boping, he hurriedly smiled and said, "This young man is joking, this is Jia Lian from the Rongguo Mansion, the old lady at home specially ordered me to take over. Ladies, do you know who the young master is?"

Mingbo Yu grew up in the imperial capital, so he naturally knew that the Rongguo Mansion, although it was the Duke's mansion, is now gradually declining, and even the second wife's concubine has been sent to the palace to be a maid. Nine out of ten noble families can't see it. He went up to them, so he deliberately said, "It turned out to be Mr. Jia. It's clear that the real master is here. I said that a few wives came to pick him up, and he really is a kidnapper."

Jia Lian's eyes turned quickly, and he said hurriedly, "It's a misunderstanding, it's all because of my slow pace, and I asked these cart and sedan chair drivers to come first."

"Since it's a misunderstanding, then let them go." Yan Ji didn't want to make trouble again, so he ordered his servants and apologized to Jia Lian, "I'm really sorry, I misunderstood your mansion. I knew that Rongguo mansion didn't act like that. A family with rules and disrespect.”

"Those who don't know are not to be blamed. The young master is thoughtful, but we have to thank him. If he is really a kidnapper, the consequences will be disastrous. I don't know the names of the two young masters, so we can send a thank you gift in the future." Jia Lian felt that he was all-round, Unexpectedly, I almost fell on the two children. Although I didn't show it on the surface, I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart.

It's all right to ask him to pick up Lin Daiyu. It doesn't matter if he picks up the cousin of the aunt's family.It's just that their women are not thorough in their work, so he, a man, should come out and clean up the mess with a smile on his face.

Seeing that he spoke politely, Yan Ji smiled and said, "It's just a small effort, nothing to worry about. I'm Yan Ji, this is my cousin."

"It turned out to be the young master of Prince Guang's Mansion and the Princess's Mansion." Jia Lian cupped his hands, "After all, I have an errand, I'm sorry."

He wanted to say that he would invite the two of them to have a drink tomorrow, but he was too young, so he should come to the door to thank him, and his face was not so big, so he just left.

Yan Ji and Ming Boyu naturally wouldn't keep him.

Ming Boyu whispered to Yan Ji, "This Jia Lian is quite interesting, very lively, old fritter."

Yan Ji just smiled and said nothing, seeing that Princess Boping has brought Lin Daiyu out of the cabin and hurried up to serve his mother.

After the two got into the sedan chair respectively, Yan Ji told Xueque, who was pressing the sedan chair outside, "If you have something to do, just send someone to the princess's mansion to deliver the letter, and don't wrong sister Lin."

"My servant understands, thank you, Uncle Yan." Xue Que thanked him blessedly.

Jia Lian saw all this in his eyes, and just now he found out that the person in the cart over there was Prince Guang.After all, Uncle Lin did a good job as an official, and even the Royal Princess took care of Sister Lin in every possible way, so I had to go back and talk to my wife Wang Xifeng.

Although Wang Xifeng is the housekeeper in name, in fact he always listens to the orders of the second wife, Mrs. Wang. Now, with regard to sister Lin, what she knows is that Mrs. Wang's arrangements are not right. on the head.

Over there, Mother Jia learned that the person who dialed to pick up Lin Daiyu was detained by the people of Princess Boping's mansion, her face was livid.

Mrs. Xing spoke clumsily and she just sat with her, but Mrs. Wang said, "Now that Lian'er has gone, he has always been capable. He will definitely handle it well and bring Miss Lin back safely."

Wang Xifeng watched clearly from the side, hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile, "It's fine to pick it up later, the old lady is looking forward to it day and night, and finally she is looking forward to Miss Lin's return. When she sees her, how can she remember us? .She will come later, and I can ask the old lady to take a look."

Only now did Mother Jia open her face, glanced at her and said, "I'll just look at you for a while now."

It's just that he was unhappy in the end. Although Princess Boping came from the clan, such an unprovoked slap in the face was too much.

Lin Daiyu has been loved by Princess Boping since she was a child, and she often comes and goes, and recently she lives with Princess Boping, and even Madam Liu said that she has good manners and good manners, so she is not very careful at this time for fear of being laughed at. Well, could it be that the rules of the Rongguo Mansion are stricter than those of the Princess Mansion.

It's just that I am quite self-confident, and I don't take a second look, but say something more, and the Xueques are all talking.

When he was on the sedan chair, Fang showed some childishness and looked out through the screen window.The prosperity of its streets and the abundance of people in Fu are different from those in the south of the Yangtze River. The capital has the bustle of the capital, and Yangzhou has the beauty of Yangzhou. Each has its own merits.

After another half day's journey, I arrived at Rongguo Mansion. The sedan chair landed in front of the Chuihua Gate. Xueque hurried up and saw the mother-in-law of Jia's mansion surrounding her to open the curtain.

Lin Daiyu helped Xueque's hand, and she had already taken off her veiled cap. Everyone in the Jia family saw that although she was still small and slender, but her appearance was already beautiful, they couldn't help but held their breath.
