In the evening, the three of them ate dinner together. Because her father and elder brother were around, Daiyu felt much better, and actually ate half a bowl of rice, but Lin Ruhai was worried that she would not digest at night, so she didn't persuade her to continue eating.

The next morning was still breakfast for the three of them. This time because they had to hurry, Lin Ruhai and Lin Chen watched her eat more breakfast. Then Lin Chen took Lin Daiyu into the carriage and was escorted by the guards. Ling returned to Gusu.

Along the way, because she had to take care of Daiyu's body, she didn't walk too fast.After arriving at the border of the Lin family in Gusu, Lin Chen took his younger sister to bury his aunt without any delay.

Lin Daiyu watched her mother's coffin being buried in the cemetery, crying uncontrollably. Lin Chen persuaded her again and again but failed to stop her crying, until finally she passed out from crying directly, and then took Daiyu to her home to resettle .

Their family has a house in the clan, and the old patriarch has been helping to take care of them for the past few years, and they usually have a place to stay when they come back.When Lin Chen touched the quilt, he felt that it was dry and fluffy after being exposed to the sun. He should have learned that they had cleaned it carefully when they came back.

After Daiyu lay on the bed and slept soundly, Lin Chen took his uncle's letter to find the old patriarch...

Since Lin Chen left Yangzhou, both Xue Shi and Xu Shi felt a little uncomfortable, and they were worried that he would hurt his heart because of what others said when he was thin-skinned.

Jiang Wen was inevitably also worried, but she absolutely did not believe that Lin Chen would be so fragile. After all, she raised the child. If his nerves were too delicate, she would have failed too much.

I don’t want to face the two bitter faces all day long, and after thinking for a while, I asked them: “Will you go for an outing? You two love mountain climbing. Last year, I built a small yard for you on the edge of our land at the foot of Qingyang Mountain.” , I haven’t lived there much, how many days shall we live in?”

"Who likes to climb mountains, isn't that because the temples are all on the mountains?" Mrs. Xue habitually argued with her daughter, and then asked: "Aren't you going to pack things for Chen'er to go to Beijing? Can you spare time to go out and play?"

"Is there anything to clean up? Mom, didn't you say that? Money is enough!"

Mrs. Xue choked, Mrs. Xu secretly covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, then looked at Jiang Wen tenderly, and asked, "Well, Wen'er, when are you going to go for an outing?"

"It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day, so let's do it tomorrow."

So Jiang Wen ordered her servants to start preparing things for going out, and after she was away for a few days, she gave Liu An's family all the explanations, and took her mother and mother-in-law out of the city in a carriage the next day.

Their family is not like those big families who are rich and willful, so there is a tenant in the yard to help look after the house. After deciding to come and play yesterday, they specially asked someone to come and clean it.

However, the house has not been lived in for a long time, and after entering it, it feels unpopular. Although the house is still new, Xue's eyes are full of dislike and pickiness.

Jiang Wen also felt that the room was a bit shady, so he looked around, ordered his servants to open the doors and windows for ventilation, and then sat in the main room with two elders and waited for the servants to clean up.

Mrs. Xue drank the tea made from the tea leaves brought from home, and the more she drank, the more breathless she became, and she slammed the cup and said, "What's the difference between this and drinking tea at our house?!"

Jiang Wen fiddled with the handle of the teapot, and said tentatively, "Is this mountain spring water infused with Zen?"

"Nonsense! There are temples on the mountain, why is the water still alive?" But people of their age would rather believe it or not, so Xue grabbed the teapot and filled it up and drank two more glasses.

Mrs. Xu was already worried about her grandson, so she rushed to the temple on Qingyang Mountain and said, "Then let's rest tonight, and go to worship Buddha tomorrow morning?"

"Okay." Jiang Wen nodded, "What time is it?"

"At the end of Yin time?"

"At the end of Yin's time?!" When Jiang Wen heard this, since when did he get up so early?The corner of his mouth couldn't help twitching and asked, "Does it have to be so early?"

"That's the point of piousness. You can have some vegetarian food by the way. Wen'er wants to change the time?"

Knowing her daughter's virtues, Mrs. Xue said softly, "I'm too lazy! We two sisters will go by ourselves."

"No, I didn't say I wouldn't go..."

Usually when Jiang Mingyi was at home, he would follow and protect Mrs. Xue whenever she went out. Now that Jiang Mingyi was invited by her to accompany Chen'er, she naturally couldn't let the two mothers go to burn incense alone.

Then he stretched out three fingers and promised: "I'm just asking, I'll go with you tomorrow, if you don't get up, mother, please remember to call me, otherwise I don't worry..."

"What's there to worry about? It's not like we didn't go there by ourselves before." Hearing that her daughter was worried about them, Mrs. Xue was secretly happy.

But she is not as honest as Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Xu directly took Jiang Wen's hand with a smile, and said with a smile: "We are happy if you can accompany me, mother will definitely call you tomorrow."

"Row."

However, Jiang Wen said that she was worried that she would not be able to get up, but she never lacked the concept of time when she thought about it, so she woke up just after dawn the next day, took a clothes from the cabinet that were convenient for climbing, put it on, and went out after washing I saw both of them waiting there.

"It's packed?" Jiang Wen stretched out his hand to wrap the braid around the top of his head, and signaled with his eyes, "Let's go, let's go, I'm still hungry!"

"Then hurry up!"

Jiang Wen tied her hair with a ribbon, glanced at her mother's attire, and said speechlessly, "How can you climb a mountain?"

"Crawl with your legs, hurry up!"

She walked forward in such a hurry, Jiang Wen and her mother-in-law followed behind, curled her lips and said to her mother-in-law: "Qingyang Mountain is not the same height as the mountain you went back to last time, mother, don't learn from my mother, if you are tired, follow me!" Say ha!"

"Wen'er, don't worry."

However, needless to say, Jiang Wen saw that the footsteps of the two pampered people were vain on the halfway up the mountain, so he directly ordered the servants to stop and rest, and poured a glass of water for each of them himself, "Slow down!" Have a drink later."

Jiang Wen didn't feel tired, so he returned the water bag to the maid, and looked around when he had nothing to do. There were bamboos on both sides of the stone steps. When the wind blew, there was a smell of bamboo. .

His eyes skipped over the stone steps extending downward from the bamboo forest, his eyes narrowed, and he felt that the maid from the family above looked familiar.But looking back, although she didn't remember which family it was from, but based on the fact that she was able to meet people, she probably met at Mrs. Lin's house a few days ago.

She is dressed like this now, and people don't necessarily know her, so they don't care, they turn around and continue to look around and wait for the two mothers to rest.

But Jiang Wen thought that people didn't remember her, but he didn't know that the servants of the big family had the most discerning eyes. As soon as the maid on the side of the sedan chair noticed the person in front, she immediately approached the window of the sedan chair and whispered: "Grandma, is it?" Mrs. Lin."

"Which Mrs. Lin?" A calm voice came from the sedan chair.

"It is the wife of the clan who came to receive the guests on the day of the funeral of Mrs. Yu Shilin's wife."

The words were twisted and twisted, but the people inside immediately remembered who it was.After reaching Jiang Wen's side, the sedan chair stopped.

Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Xu looked behind Jiang Wen in surprise. When she turned her head, she saw a noble lady coming out of the sedan chair. She looked familiar, but she really didn't remember who it was, but she subconsciously took the lead. Shang smiled and said hello: "It's a coincidence that I can see you today, and you also come to offer incense?"

"Madam Lin also came to offer incense?"

Jiang Wen nodded with a smile, and then introduced to her: "This is my mother and mother-in-law, I am here to accompany them to offer incense today."

Jiang Wen didn't introduce her identity. No matter what the reason was, the lady still gave a slight blessing to the two elders, and introduced herself: "I am the wife of Master Chang, the magistrate of Yangzhou."

Both Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Xu greeted her with smiles, and Jiang Wen suddenly realized that it was Mrs. Chang from the magistrate's family.

Mrs. Ye has always been considerate of everything, and the wives of the family can look at people together as a skill, so naturally they noticed Jiang Wen's expression all at once.He asked calmly, "Why didn't Mrs. Lin take the sedan chair?"

Jiang Wen felt that the other party must have no other intentions because of her straightforwardness in saluting to her two mothers before, so she replied with a smile: "We have a small yard at the foot of the mountain, and it's close, so I want to go up by myself on foot."

"What a coincidence, our family also has a Zhuangzi at the foot of this mountain. I also came here yesterday to prepare for a short stay."

"Really? There is such a fate."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ye turned her head and said to the servant girl: "It is true that walking is more pious, so I will accompany the three ladies to go up."

"Grandma..." The servant girl looked at Madam worriedly.

Ye raised her hand and said, "It's nothing. It's not too far away."

When Jiang Wen saw it, let's go together, he looked at his mother and mother, and asked, "Mother, have you rested well, mother? Let's go?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ye quickly said: "Don't worry, it will be fine if you rest for a while."

Xue shook her head and replied with a smile: "It's ready, let's go up."

Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Xu walked in front, and Jiang Wen followed Mrs. Ye's steps to climb up slowly, feeling embarrassed, and said: "I heard from Chen'er that he has a good relationship with your eldest son, and he has visited the door several times. The last time I was at Mrs. Lin's house, I didn't have time to talk more, if you have time to spare, why don't you bring the child to our house and ask us to entertain you."

"You are welcome. Mr. Chang and I both like Lin Chen very much. We are happy to see the children get in touch with us more."

Jiang Wen smiled and said nothing, but his pride for his son was beyond words.

They are all mothers, and Yeh can understand this feeling. She has a good impression of Lin Chen, and she also has a good impression of the Lin family who raised such outstanding children, so she took the initiative to stop.

After the two chatted together, Jiang Wen also had a good sense of Ye Shi, so he mentioned again that when he returned to Yangzhou City, he would invite them to his home as guests, and Ye Shi readily agreed.

After a few days outside the city, Jiang Wen was invited by Mrs. Ye to be a guest at the Chang family's Zhuangzi. As soon as the two came and went, they began to get close. Ye's maiden name was Yunyi, and the two called each other by their first names. .

Jiang Wen's family stayed outside the city for a while, and when they returned to Yangzhou City, they received an invitation letter from Ye Yunyi, and the two families began to move around. She also met the three sons of the Chang family.

Chang Hongyu, the eldest son of the Chang family, is one year older than Lin Chen. The second son, Chang Hongchen, is eleven years old, and the youngest son is only eight years old. They are all well-mannered children.

It was nearly half a month after Lin Chen returned to Yangzhou with Daiyu. He ordered someone to send his sister back to rest, and then went directly to find his uncle. I asked Chen'er to bring it to my uncle."

Lin Ruhai took the letter and didn't open it directly, but asked, "Is your trip going well?"

"There's nothing to delay."

Lin Ruhai nodded, then tore open the envelope, and carefully read the old patriarch's letter, but as time passed, his expression became more and more strange...

Lin Chen was a little curious, but he just stood aside and politely did not ask.

After a long time, Lin Ruhai put down the letter in his hand, shook his head at Lin Chen, and said, "It's nothing, you've worked hard these few days, so go home and see your elders first."

Lin Chen bowed and exited his uncle's study.

When the person left, Lin Ruhai couldn't help picking up the letter again, frowning slightly, and then carefully put it away.

The trip to the north had been delayed for a long time, Lin Chen and Lin Daiyu could not delay any longer, Lin Ruhai and Jiang Wen had already made the preparations, and sent them away at the pier three days later.

While Lin Ruhai was talking to her daughter, Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Xu pulled Lin Chen and instructed her, while Jiang Wen stood beside her and watched quietly.

After wiping away her tears, Mrs. Xue saw that there was no expression on the side that she should have at all, she immediately pulled the person over angrily, and said, "Why are you so big-hearted? Chen'er is about to go on a long journey, and she is still by the side Wangtian, do you have anything to ask?"

Jiang Wen was helpless, "Didn't you say everything that needs to be said?"

Seeing this, Lin Chen couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled, and then promised: "Grandmother, grandmother, mother, I will take good care of myself when I get to the capital."

Jiang Wen glanced at Lin Daiyu on the other side, and said: "This child keeps everything in her heart. If you have nothing to do in the capital, go to Rongguo Mansion to visit. Don't feel troublesome."

When Lin Ruhai and his daughter heard this, they all looked over. Lin Chen nodded to his uncle, and promised his mother, "Mother, don't worry."

Before boarding the boat, Lin Daiyu couldn't stop crying. Lin Ruhai couldn't bear to look at it any longer, so she said to Lin Chen, "When you arrive in the capital, remember to write letters often."

"Yes, uncle."
