Jia Minqi's family in the Red Chamber

Jia Min chatted with Mrs. Xue's family for a while, and then served tea to see off the guests.

Not long after the Xue family left, Lin Hai also returned to the inner house.At this time, Jia Min was holding the fetal nourishing decoction, frowning and brewing emotions.

Seeing this, Lin Hai asked for a small spoon and said with a smile, "May I feed you?"

The soup and medicine are so bitter, whoever feeds her has a grudge against her, Jia Min gave her husband a hard look, and drank half a bowl of medicine with a raised neck.

After drinking another half cup of honey water with candied fruit in it, she seemed to have recovered a bit, and rushed over to pinch her husband fiercely.

Even if they are destined to be next to each other, it doesn't mean that Lin Hai doesn't dodge at all.However, the room is not small, and there are a lot of household items. Jia Min stretched out his foot, and Lin Hai could only let his wife do what she wanted.

The couple were fighting and fighting, Jia Min saw sweat on his forehead, she flipped her wrist, supported her husband's arm and sat down.

Seeing this, Lin Hai quickly found a fan and fanned it for his wife, "How is it?"

Jia Min narrowed his eyes and said, "Have fun!"

It stands to reason that the wife should save the baby and avoid random activities, but the previous baby was saved by lying on the bed, and the son she gave birth did not stop.

This time he wanted to change his tactics: after the fight, the couple were both in a very good mood. Between good health and good mood, Lin Hai chose the latter.

After sweating, she ate some snacks and drank tea. Jia Min only felt that most of her energy had recovered, and she wanted to talk to her husband.

"What did he tell you?"

"He" naturally refers to Xue Huan, the elder of the Xue family.

Lin Haidao: "It's no big deal. He opened a few shops in Yangzhou, saying that the whole family has to live in Yangzhou these days."

All in all, it is worshiping the top of the mountain, and it is close to chant.He had already been flattered by countless salt merchants when he took office, and he was already familiar with it.

Jia Min was taken aback, "That's not right. His wife told me that her natal brother followed the prince!"

Lin Hai was also quite surprised, "Ah? Why is this?"

Doesn't it matter if he came here to sniff or just come to solicit? !Although we are all relatives, the relationship is not really close,

And his identity... It's not that Lin Hai is self-confident, his identity is too different.The prince wants to recruit a scholar with some fame and reputation, so he can only invite cronies with decent status and reputation.With Lin Hai's previous status as a scout and inspector, the crown prince would not be too exaggerated to say it himself!

The husband had no intention of concealing it, so his thoughts were all written on his face, and Jia Min knew it at a glance: the husband didn't believe that the prince would be so careless, but what she saw in the mirror of the past life, the prince did absurd things But come here...he really doesn't care much!

Most of the local salt merchants belong to the prince. Her husband has been an official here for three or four years, and he has not encountered too many obstacles...

Jia Min whispered: "Your censor has done well, maybe you have intentionally approached the nobleman. Maybe they think that at this time, just talk to someone casually, and everyone will have a tacit understanding?"

The more Lin Hai listened, the more serious his expression became, "The prince of Jiangnan is already very powerful, it seems that he really has to seek a transfer."

The crown prince's birth mother, the empress grandson, is from the south of the Yangtze River, and the crown prince's grandfather is the elder Ge. Although he has retired from office, he still sits in the capital and speaks the truth. Doesn't the emperor have to be courteous when he sees the old man?

Therefore tit for tat is absolutely impossible, and in order to avoid the prince's influence and avoid his solicitation, it is definitely not Lin Hai's wish to seek another backer.Then you can only afford to hide.

Seeing her husband make up her mind, Jia Min felt a lot more at ease: in her previous life, her family's position was extremely embarrassing because her husband stayed on.

Although the couple sat silently at each other, Jia Min kept holding her husband's hand.After a while, Lin Hai's expression softened, "After all, my rank is lower and my qualifications are also lower."

It was the Holy Majesty who appointed Lin Hai as Tanhua, and it was the Holy Majesty who sent him south to be the censor. He was loyal to the Holy Majesty.But he is "simple in the emperor's heart", and it is not important enough for the Holy One to pay attention to him all the time.

Jia Min persuaded: "Master, don't worry, just wait and see. By the way," she should find a way to send Xiangling home, "Master, do you still remember which member of the Zhen family lost his daughter?"

"Remember." Lin Hai asked, "What's wrong?"

It is not uncommon for ordinary people to lose their children, but it is not uncommon for rich and famous people to lose their daughters, which can cause troubles that can be heard by officials far and near.

"I found his daughter. The master will find a way to send it back."

Lin Hai asked curiously, "How many years has it been? How did you find it? And how can you be sure it's his child?"

Jia Min patted her husband's arm, "Just tell me if you can do it, why are there so many problems?"

Lin Hai said seriously: "You... have been a little... different since you came back from Daming Temple."

She didn't think that the changes in her family could really hide from her husband.Jia Min frowned, said half of the story but also hid the other half, "My father dreamed about it, saying that if we do more good things, we will have a smoother relationship with our children."

Lin Hai naturally doesn't believe in gods and Buddhas.

However, he would be very happy if he made some efforts in exchange for his wife's peace of mind, "I'll send someone to inquire first." Since he agreed, he immediately wrote a letter and asked someone to send it to Zhen Shiyin.

However, Zhen Shiyin’s house was caught in a fire, but the title deed of the house was still there, and the gold and silver were not destroyed by the disaster... In short, the house still has a lot of wealth, but because the couple lost their only flesh and blood, the couple lived in a bit of despair .

At this moment, Zhen Shiyin's wife, Feng Shi, has been depressed for many years, and she caught a cold a few days ago, and she looks a little sick.Zhen Shiyin looked at his emaciated wife, feeling a little hopeless... He thought that if his wife left, he might as well... get married and get married.

At this time, he received a letter from Yangzhou patrol salt censor.Zhen Shiyin was very surprised: he had almost no contact with this lord, only meeting each other at several poetry conferences.

Open the letter paper and take a look... Zhen Shiyin almost jumped up after reading only a few lines!He hadn't thought about having fun in vain, or that the lord had found the wrong person!

Zhen Shiyin's hand holding the letter was trembling, he ran all the way into his bedroom, stood in front of his wife's bed and read the letter aloud.

Feng Shi got up excitedly when he heard half of it, sat up after lying in bed for a few days, she passed out again, and then retched again... frightened the house into chaos again.

Anyway, in the afternoon of the next day, Jia Min was telling stories to Daiyu and Xiangling, and the eldest girl came to report: The Zhen family couple came to visit.

The Zhen family... Jia Min thought about it, it was Zhen Shiyin and his wife, right?The master delivered the letter yesterday, and the person arrived today.Fortunately, Suzhou is not far from Yangzhou.

It happened that Lin Hai was also at home, and Jia Min would not spoil the scenery and delay the reunion of his father and daughter.She didn't even exchange pleasantries, she just asked Hongwen to lead Xiangling, that is, Zhen Yinglian, out.

Even though nearly ten years have passed, the Zhen family and his wife still recognized their daughter at a glance.

For one thing, the cinnabar mole on Xiaoyinglian's forehead is too characteristic.

Secondly, father Xiao's words were not in vain.Even though Zhen Shiyin's life has been very bad these years, and his face is haggard, even if Lin Hai and Jia Min stand a little farther away, they can tell at a glance...they are definitely father and daughter, no mistake!

When Feng saw her daughter, she couldn't help crying. Zhen Shiyin endured and supported his old wife, holding her daughter in tears.

Xiao Yinglian was a little at a loss at first, but she boldly looked up at Zhen Shiyin's face: she understood everything.

Seeing the family of three embracing each other and crying loudly, Jia Min suddenly felt hot in his lower abdomen... a very comfortable kind of warmth.

As soon as she was comfortable, her face showed signs, "Oh, although they are crying, I am so happy."

This was crying with joy, but Lin Hai whispered, "Can you also get benefits?"

Jia Min tilted his head and said, "It's also good for you, you'll know it later."

Lin Hai hesitated for a moment, then his eyes naturally fell on Jia Min's lower abdomen.

Jia Min nodded solemnly.

In this way, both families are happy.

Only Daiyu... the friend who has just met for a few days is going to be separated, she is very reluctant: she thinks this sister is more amiable and reasonable than the sister of Xue's family.

Yinglian also caught sight of Daiyu's reddish eye circles, and when her parents let go of her, she ran towards Daiyu, the two little girls held hands and were very reluctant to part... Zhen Yingjia and Feng's couple saw it In the middle of the night, Feng quickly said to Yinglian, but her voice was still a little choked up, "In the future, you will also invite the sisters of the Lin family to have a gathering at home."

Yinglian has been a little girl for several years, and she is used to looking at people. Although she knew it was her biological mother who was speaking, she still looked at her carefully for a long time before whispering, "Really?"

Zhen Yingjia and Feng's couple suddenly felt distressed.

Jia Min immediately said: "The two sisters hit it off, so why not study together as companions."

Yinglian's family background is better than Baochai's - Zhen Shiyin has a reputation for fame and family property, and handkerchief handing with a girl from such a family is not disgraceful at all.Jia Min looked at her coldly. Based on the couple's love for their daughter, Yinglian wanted to recruit a son-in-law.Anyway, finding any kind of husband and son-in-law is better than Xue Pan.

Feng Shi was deeply blessed when he heard the words, "Thank you, Madam, for fulfilling your wish."

Zhen Yingjia also bowed to the ground, "Such kindness will never be forgotten!"

Jia Minxin said that I will help you all, and it is also for our family.She was not good at comforting people, so she pushed her husband out directly.

After sending the family away, Jia Min slept very soundly that night.

On the second day, Dr. Zhang came to the house regularly. After the pulse diagnosis, he listened to the anti-fetal medicine directly, "My wife's pregnancy is stable." That night, Lin Hai slept very soundly, and even snored slightly—Jia Min He didn't wake up after kicking a few times, but he fell asleep after a while because he was tired from kicking.

But half a month later, Zhen Yingjia handed over the post, and the whole family came to visit again—with a cart full of thank you gifts.

Last time I saw Feng's complexion was still pale, and she had to be supported when she walked, but now her face has turned rosy, and she has gained a lot of weight.Yinglian also dressed up seriously, no matter the hair, face or body materials were not much worse than her family's Daiyu.

The key point is that Yinglian, dressed in rich and noble clothes, can support herself completely.

The two mothers exchanged some pleasantries, and Feng Shi said first, "Our master bought a house in Yangzhou, added a few more shops, and greeted the family in Jinling."

These days, she also inquired about it, and found out that Xue Pan, the young master of the Xue family, even provoked a life lawsuit in order to buy his daughter.Although the Zhen family is not considered an aristocratic family, they are not afraid of trouble finding the door.

But Mrs. Jia took her daughter out of the Xue family with one word, and this kindness must be thanked.

Feng continued: "It saves someone from messing around with me, so I don't have to worry about it."

Jia Min thought to herself that she was quite decisive, with such a mother around, Yinglian would not be far behind in the future.So she smiled and said, "It's just right. It's more convenient for us to move around."

She recalled a little more, Xue Pan's case was judged by Jia Yucun?This Jia Yu village has opened a door for Daiyu.She suddenly felt sick, "Speaking of which, the county magistrate was recommended by our master..."

Feng Shi hurriedly comforted: "Knowing people, knowing faces, but not heart. Who would have thought that this person would be so...confused."

Jia Min thought about it again: Xue Huan was dead at this time in the previous life, but he is still alive and well in this life.Anyway, Yinglian's mother's talk is about this, and she doesn't persuade her anymore. "It's really confusing."

The meaning of these words is very clear: our master will not protect Jia Yucun.

The two wives just chatted over tea, Jia Yucun didn't know that he lost his official position because of this.When the official documents came down, Jia Yucun was stunned for a long time. After leaving the yamen, he went to find the Xue family. After asking the door, he found out that the Xue family had gone to Yangzhou.

He went home, went straight to the study, and sent someone to deliver the letter to Rongfu in the capital the next day.

What happened to Jia Yucun and Jia Min didn't take it seriously, when her nephew Jia Zhu arrived with a big cart of gifts—[-]% of them were all kinds of food and medicinal materials sent by her mother.

Seeing this, Jia Min was deeply moved: Mother is really eccentric as always.
