Red Mansion Soldiers

Chapter 19 What is Surprise?

With a waist of [-], he rode down to Yangzhou on a crane.

She has been prosperous since ancient times.In the whole world, apart from Jinling and Luoyang, there is no city in the world that can surpass Yangzhou.

Yangzhou in October is also beautiful.

Ran Ran Qiuguang can't keep it, the full-order red leaves are twilight.

It's a pity that Jia Lian didn't care about these beautiful scenery, and only focused on looking through the window of the carriage, which is different from Yangzhou in the north.

Just when Jia Hun conquered Gaize, Jia Lian also arrived in Yangzhou.

After getting off the boat, the sharp-eyed steward of the Lin family saw his housekeeper, so the person in front of him must be the young nephew of his wife's natal family.

The steward of the Lin family stayed where he was, and stared at the unloading with the stewards who accompanied the Jia family to the south. The steward of the Lin family took eighty generals and drove to Xunyan Yushi's mansion.

As he got closer and closer to Yushi's Mansion, Jia Lian also became quiet from looking around at the beginning, and became more and more nervous.

In his limited memory, his aunt was not a good person.

One of my hobbies before getting married was to tease the juniors.

Especially their three brothers Hunzhulian.

It's okay not to think about it, but now the more I think about it, the more panicked I become.

How much Jia Lian hoped that the carriage would go on like this.

But the carriage still stopped.As soon as the door curtain was opened, the butler of the Lin family asked Jia Lian to get out of the car first. Jia Lian decided it would be better to go in and have a look. Maybe her aunt would become a good wife and mother after giving birth to her cousin.

My aunt's family lives in the backyard of Yushifu, and the front yard is an office.It was not supposed to allow outsiders to enter, but Jia Lian was the first-class Shenwei general Xijue of the Rongguo Mansion, and he also had the official body of a dragon guard, so he could barely walk through the gate.

Lin Hai was already waiting in front of the vertical flower gate.

Lin Hai was also very happy about the arrival of Jia Lian, his nephew.

It has been nearly six years since he was awarded the seventh-rank supervisory censor of Lantai Temple after he finished observing politics, and was sent by Lantai Temple to Yangzhou to serve as a salt censor. I haven't seen my natal family for nearly six years.

Although his wife never said anything, Lin Hai felt more and more guilty when he saw the smile on his wife's face less and less.

It's all right now, the uncle of the Yue family sent his son to Yangzhou to play with his wife...to take care of his wife.Lin Hai looked forward to Jia Lian's arrival even more.

Up to now, Lin Hai still hasn't told Jia Min about Jia Lian's arrival.

There was a noise coming from the front, Lin Hai took a few steps forward, and saw a handsome young man walking towards him, Lin Hai recognized Jia Lian at a glance, although his figure had grown, but his facial features were still the same as six years ago Same.

Seeing that his uncle Lin Hai was already waiting for him in front of the Chuihua Gate, Jia Lian quickly walked up to him and saluted.

"Little nephew Jia Lian, meet uncle..."

"Why is my family so polite? Come on, Brother Lian, follow me to see your aunt."

Lin Hai hurriedly pulled Jia Lian up, touched the corner of Jia Lian's head with a smile, and pulled him towards Jia Min.

"Ah, uncle, didn't you tell aunt that I came to Yangzhou?"

Walking on the road, Lin Hai and Jia Lian talked about their surprise plan for Jia Min, and Jia Lian was a little surprised.

"I haven't said it before. Seeing that it's noon, I've already prepared the banquet. You follow Qiu Ju to the banquet and wait first. I'll go find your aunt."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Hai walked towards Jia Min's courtyard, stepping away from Jia Lian. It was also the first time for Jia Lian to experience such a scene, so he had nothing to say, so he followed Qiu Ju to the main hall.

There was already an old lady sitting in the main hall. Seeing Jia Lian coming in, she looked at him with a smile. Jia Lian recognized that it was the old lady of the Lin family who came to the house when her aunt got married a few years ago, and immediately knelt down to pay her respects.

"The Jia family, Jia Lian, I respectfully invite my aunt to be safe!"

Mother Lin repeatedly asked Jia Lian to come to him, took out a small gold necklace containing Manjusri Bodhisattva from her sleeve, and hung it around Jia Lian's neck.Mother Lin saw that Jia Lian still had a little baby face, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, and she kept rubbing Jia Lian's head with her hands.

Jia Min Courtyard.

Lin Hai walked to the door, rubbed his face, put on a slightly disappointed and guilty expression, and pushed open the door of Jia Min's room.

Jia Min is teaching a little girl to practice calligraphy.

The two of them seem to be carved out of the same mold, with a peerless elegance exuding from their bones.

It's just that the older one's eyebrows are open, and when he sees a woman with a bright personality, there is a hint of sadness on the brows.

The younger one has two eyebrows that seem to be frowning but not frowning, and a pair of eyes that seem to be happy but not happy.At the age of five or six, she already knew that she would be as beautiful as her mother in the future.Probably because of his poor health, growing up soaked in a medicine jar, he was a little sad at a young age.

This is Jia Minlin Daiyu mother and daughter.

When Jia Min heard the noise at the door, her eyes were filled with anticipation, but seeing her husband's guilt-ridden expression, she knew it in her heart, and the worry on her brows became more serious.

Feeling the sadness emanating from her back, Daiyu quickly put down her pen and shrank into Jia Min's arms.

"Min'er, here, the Yue family..." Lin Hai didn't know how to speak.

"Okay, needless to say, they probably forgot about me as a married woman." As he spoke, Jia Min's face was no longer cheerful, and he hugged his daughter tightly and began to cry.

Daiyu knew that it was useless to say anything at this time, so she quietly curled up in her mother's arms and let Jia Min cry.

Lin Hai's scalp was numb, knowing that something had happened, at most he would sigh "it's like this again" a while ago, and then what should he do? Why did he cry?Could it be because of being pregnant and sentimental?

At this point, Lin Hai decided to speed up the process.

"How could the Yue family forget about Madam? It's just that the family can't send any manpower. Uncle is a first-class general, not an imperial envoy. Whenever he leaves the city, he has to report to the Governor's Mansion, let alone going to the south of the Yangtze River.

My second uncle is also working in the Ministry of Industry, so I can't get away from him. Brother Zhu is preparing for the Chunwei exam and has a lot of schoolwork.

Lian'er is too young, let alone Baoyu.Waiting for next year, next year my errand of inspecting salt censors will be over. At that time, our whole family will return to Beijing together, and you can stay at your mother’s house for a few days if you want. "Lin Hai also persuaded Jia Min.

Hearing that he will return to Beijing next year, Jia Min stopped crying and just stared at Lin Hai pitifully with red eyes.

"Really?"

"It's true. The salt censor is appointed every five years. If Hu Yushi, who came to represent me at the beginning of the year, met the water worker riot to ask for salary and was beaten to death, we would go back this year. The emperor said, let I will work for another year and send someone to replace me next year."

At the beginning of the year, the governor of water transportation was not a good person.

For the water workers, ten pennies is worth ten pennies, greedy for two pennies is blue sky, greedy for three pennies is common, greedy for four pennies is a dog official, and greedy for five pennies is unconscionable.But these years, food prices are low, and they can barely survive.

But if you are greedy for eight pennies, you will kill everyone!
On the day when the wages were off, the governor's mansion of the water transport was completely killed by the furious water workers, the passing dogs were beaten into hot pots, and the earthworms were cut in half vertically.

Cao Bing didn't care, because Cao Bing was also corrupted by [-]%.

The unlucky Hu Yushi was treated as an official of the Governor's Mansion and chopped into meat paste because he was temporarily staying in the Governor's Mansion.

Soon, the imperial court sent a new batch of water transportation officials, and those big brothers who took the lead in asking for salaries knew that they would not survive, so they reached a consensus with the water transportation yamen and committed suicide.

That's how it went.

There is no way, a large part of the Taizu's starting team came from the Cao Gang back then. After the establishment of Daqi, the Cao Gang was banned, and a governor's yamen of Water Transport was set up.

Therefore, the water workers are proud of their profession from the bottom of their hearts.

Taizu did this too!
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Taizu also missed the days of begging for life in the Caobang, saying that it was the most carefree time in his life, so he took great care of his waterworkers, which made them more and more difficult to manage.

However, this group of people is very loyal to the Chen royal family. Whenever there is a war, tens of thousands of people will join the army, and the Chen royal family will also trust them.

It's just that the water transportation yamen caught in the middle is getting more and more difficult.

Lin Hai was also forced to stay for an extra year.

Seeing Daiyu whose eyes were starting to turn red because of her mother's emotions, Lin Hai became numb.

Forget it, after seeing Jia Lian left and right, they couldn't escape the fate of being punished, so let's continue acting.

Lin Hai took the mother and daughter into his arms.

"It's all because of my husband's incompetence, and being looked down upon by the Yue family. I'm sorry for your husband!" Lin Hai also choked up.

Hearing the voice of her husband trying not to let herself cry, Jia Min couldn't bear it anymore, and started to cry loudly with a wow.

Daiyu was also affected by the atmosphere, sobbing softly.

When Lin Hai thought of his wife's methods, he couldn't help crying.

A family of three, ah, no, it's four, hugging each other and crying bitterly as if they have been wronged so much.

After crying for a long time, Lin Hai stopped crying, and said to Jia Min's mother and daughter: "Don't cry anymore, it's already noon, and it's impossible for the left and right Yue's family to send someone to fly over, so don't make mother wait for a long time, go quickly Go and eat."

Jia Min also stopped crying, took out a handkerchief and wiped away her tears, and then wiped away Daiyu's tears.

"What the master said is, don't cry, Daiyu. They don't come to see me. I don't care. It's important to eat. It's not worth hurting your body because of these things."

After speaking, he took Daiyu's little hand, Lin Hai took Jia Min's other hand, and walked towards Mother Lin's room.

At Lin's mother's place, Jia Lian was also numb and tired of coping with Lin's mother's problems.

At first the question was okay, just asking how the family is doing.

Then I asked myself.

What about "How is your studies?" "What books are you going to read?", and slowly asked "Are you engaged?" "Do you have a woman you like?" These questions made Jia Lian's face more and more red.

Mother Lin didn't seem to notice Jia Lian's embarrassment, but when she saw Jia Lian's blushing face, she smiled more kindly.

"Mother." "Ma'am..." "Grandmother!"

The sound of nature from outside the door rescued Jia Lian who was about to burst into steam.

Jia Lian looked out the door gratefully.

Mother Lin saw the red eyes of her daughter-in-law and granddaughter, looking at her son at the door unkindly.

Jia Min bowed to Lin's mother, wondering who the little boy was sitting with her mother-in-law, when he saw the little boy turn towards him.

So familiar, this face looks a bit like, a bit like...

"Ah, Lian'er!"

The sudden surprise made Jia Min a little out of breath, and he fell back. Lin Hai hurriedly supported his wife and gave him comfort.

Daiyu, who had already run to her grandmother, looked at her mother worriedly, and when she was thinking about the past, Jia Min slowed down.

Thanks to Jia Min Jiangmen's good background, he took a few deep breaths and stood up again from Lin Hai's arms.

"Lian'er, Ruhai, you..."

Jia Min realized something, and turned to look at the smiling Lin Hai.

Lin Hai's hairs started to stand up, his scalp was numb, he saw Jia Min's brows furrowed together, his phoenix eyes narrowed, and he stabbed himself like a knife.

Lin Hai realized that his wife was really angry, and turned around to leave.

"Well, you Lin Ruhai, if you dare to join forces with my nephew to play tricks on my mother, you will die!"

Jia Min grabbed Lin Hai, hooked her right foot, and tripped her helpless husband to the ground.Start hitting while riding on his stomach.

Teach you to see the martial arts handed down by my mother!
Jia Lian and Daiyu gasped, and Lin's mother said with a smile that her son had gone too far and deserved to be beaten.

Hearing the sound of gasping for breath, Jia Min turned her head to look at Jia Lian, Jia Lian felt as if she was being followed by a big worm.

"Whatever you look at, you are not a good thing!"

After finishing speaking, she continued to beat her husband in the crotch.

I was forced too!
Jia Lian shouted in his heart.

Uncle Lin's fault!
