The moonlight in the south of the Yangtze River seems to be hazier than the moonlight in the north.

Daiyu, who had previously been wearing plain clothes because her father was seriously ill, now also changed her color.

On the top is a green blouse with flowers and flowers, on the bottom is a haze and purple gauze skirt, and on the feet are a pair of light red embroidered shoes.

His eyebrows are like pictures, and his eyes are like stars. When you stare at him, you seem to be able to see through people's hearts.

Daiyu looked at Jia Qiang and said softly: "Daddy has not recovered from his serious illness. I may have to stay for a few more months and wait for him at the bedside until he recovers. I think it will have to be after the New Year until next spring. Brother Qiang Are you in a hurry to return to Beijing?"

Jia Qiang shook her head slightly and said: "Now that the situation in Beijing is booming, I need to avoid the spotlight for a while and avoid getting into trouble. It's best not to let people see me or think of me. Even if Aunt Lin wants to come back, I'm not ready for the time being. Back."

Daiyu felt relieved, smiled when she heard this, and said angrily: "Then why are you talking like this..."

Jia Qiang thought for a while and said: "If Aunt Lin returns to the capital before the end of the year, I will need to go out to look for a house as soon as possible..."

Before she finished speaking, Daiyu raised her eyebrows and said with a downcast face: "Brother Qiang, you still think of us as distant relatives of the fifth server?"

A girl as proud and arrogant as Daiyu is actually intolerant of human kindness.

Jia Qiang had helped her so much, not only escorting her south, but also helping to save her father. She was grateful and had many kind words in front of Lin Ruhai, so Lin Ruhai let Jia Qiang stay in her small house. Things in the study room.

In Daiyu's view, this is a way of repaying kindness, so why doesn't it mean getting closer to relatives?

Unexpectedly, it was her wishful thinking. What Jia Qiang wanted was to move out early!

Seeing that Daiyu was really annoyed, Jia Qiang smiled and said: "Aunt Lin, don't worry too much. It's just that I have to stay in Jiangnan for a long time. In addition to studying hard, there are many other things to do. For example, I had a lot of other things to do with Lin. My aunt discussed opening a bookstore..."

"So what?"

Daiyu was still angry and looked directly at Jia Qiang, asking him to make a clear distinction, otherwise he would definitely not be able to follow her.

Jia Qiang held back her smile and said, "If Aunt Lin is the only one here at the Yanyuan Yamen, I won't be able to drive her away. But there is also my great-uncle!"

Daiyu didn't think about it, she just wondered: "Doesn't my father still recognize you as a relative?"

Jia Qiang chuckled and said: "It's not about whether you recognize your relatives or not... I only found out after talking to Aunt Lin recently that my uncle-in-law was an upright and upright official throughout his life and had a great reputation among the scholars. How could I bear to bear such a relative?" In his government office, talk about gold and silver matters among merchants?"

Daiyu snorted and said: "When I was five years old, my father taught me: the four peoples, namely, scholars, farmers, industry and merchants, are the stone people of the country. My father is already responsible for the important affairs of the salt tax, how can he despise business?"

Jia Qiang patiently explained: "It's not that my great-uncle despises business, it's that I can't make money personally, which affects his official reputation. The salt tax is a national matter, and our bookstore is, after all, a private matter. Besides, even if After moving out, I will come back often to ask Aunt Lin for advice..."

Before she finished speaking, Daiyu suddenly stood up, gave Jia Qiang a hard look, and then said, "If you want to move out, just go and talk to my father. It has nothing to do with me!"

After saying that, he shook his head and left.

During the confrontation between the two, no one else dared to speak.

After she left, before anyone else had a chance to speak, Zijuan came over with a bowl full of hot rice, but found that Daiyu was missing. Nahan asked, "Where is our girl?"

A Lin family maid who was waiting nearby whispered: "We had a quarrel!"

Zicuckoo was startled, looked at Jia Qiang, and said, "It's so good, why are you arguing?"

Jia Qiang took the rice bowl from Zijuan and filled another bowl for herself. She said with some disdain: "Next time, I'll serve a bigger bowl. This bowl looks good, but one bowl can only hold three mouthfuls of rice. I'm fooling people."

Zijuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she hurriedly sent someone to fetch the big sea bowl, and then asked: "Why did Mr. Qiang quarrel with the girl?"

Jia Qiang didn't know what to say. Li Jing said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. Our master said that we will stay in Jiangnan for a long time. If Miss Lin is not in a hurry to return to Beijing, we will not be in a hurry to move out..."

Zijuan jumped again when she heard this. She couldn't believe her ears. Her eyes widened and she said, "We girls want you to move out? Impossible!!"

Li Jing laughed at the side and said: "Of course not. What our master means is that we should not rush out to look for a house before the year before, and we can move after the year."

Only then did Zicuckoo understand. She took a long breath and said angrily: "You young gang leader is really not a good person, he specializes in making fun of people!" Then he turned to look at Jia Qiang and said incomprehensibly: "How could Second Master Qiang think about this?

Move out? You escorted our girl south, and even found a famous doctor to save the master. We haven't repaid such a great favor, and you actually don't even want to live at home anymore. How can we, the girl, feel at ease?"

After Jia Qiang finished eating a bowl of rice in a gentle and elegant manner but not at a slow speed, she said softly: "I don't mean to pretend to be noble or to draw a line between each other by doing this. I'm not a hypocritical person, and I don't bother to do that. I don't care about this."

I will discuss it with my uncle-in-law. Please tell Aunt Lin that I am really thinking about my uncle-in-law’s official reputation. Nowadays, there is a turmoil in Beijing. If you see that your uncle-in-law’s Yanzheng Yamen is making a lot of money,

Even if this matter has nothing to do with my great-uncle, others will definitely worry about it. By then, something unexpected may happen."

Nanny Wu, who had been serving at the side, couldn't help hearing the words and said with a smile: "After all, he is a noble son from Beijing. His style is really different. Only brother in the world can think of making money so easily..."

Obviously, in her eyes, Jia Qiang is like a bullshit who talks a lot but doesn't do anything well.

Jia Qiang didn't want to explain anything. After eating and drinking, she asked Zicuckoo: "Is there a place for walking in the house? Aunt Lin described it on the boat as very elegant. It would also be helpful to do some activities after dinner.

Yu Kehua."

Li Jing smiled and said, "Let me and Xiang Ling go and watch. I'll go back and watch over my dad."

Xiangling didn't want it either, and whispered: "I still want to go back and compose poetry."

Jia Qiang laughed, couldn't help but stroke the hair on the forehead of this upright silly girl, and said, "Okay, go back and do your work."

Zijuan also liked this kind of unpretentious intimacy very much. She smiled and said: "I am not the host, Xueyan is. Let's go, I will go to persuade the girl. But she may not listen to what I say."

Jia Qiang smiled and said: "If you don't want to listen, don't force it. As long as my great-uncle understands."

While they were chatting and joking, everyone at the table dispersed.

Because Vivian had already returned to Yangzhou Church with her Uncle George, the atmosphere was much more harmonious without this sudden and unrestrained Yangma.

…

The Yanzhengyuan Yamen has an extraordinary momentum and occupies a large area.

There are three roads and three entrances to the house, and the courtyards are connected layer by layer, but they are different from the courtyards in the north.

The house in the south of the Yangtze River and the mansion in the north are completely different things.

The white walls and black tiles in the south of the Yangtze River often have the meaning of a garden, and the rugged rocks always bring out the interest of nature.

In contrast, the Northland is much more majestic. Even though it has carved beams and painted buildings, it always has a gray and heavy feel.

In the salt courtyard, there seem to be thousands of bamboos planted, and the lush greenery reverberates with the fresh breath.

Jia Qiang held a lantern, the light was dim, she declined Xue Yan's offer to accompany her, and walked alone in the gardens of the Jiangnan water town.

It's rare to put down your plans and guarding and enjoy this tranquility.

As Daiyu said, there are pavilions and marshes at the southernmost end of the West Road Courtyard, and there is a pavilion with a plaque on it saying "Hour Le Pavilion".

After thinking about it, I chose the word "worry first when the world is worried, then be happy when the world is happy".

Jia Qiang came to the pavilion and sat on the railing. The night breeze was soft and gentle, and the dryness was gone.

A faint moon hanging in the sky is a bit more interesting than the full moon.

The evening breeze blew gently, and the sound of swaying bamboo leaves could be heard in the bamboo forest, adding to the tranquility of the night.

He loved this place with its ancient charm.

Sitting alone in this quiet place, Jia Qiang thought of what she saw today.

From what I can see today, Lin Ruhai is obviously much better than Jia Zheng.

Contemporary scholar-bureaucrats, especially those in high positions, rarely express their joy and anger.

When he was studying in the Red Mansion in his previous life, he felt a little cold in his heart when he saw Jia Min passed away and Daiyu begged to stay with her father, but was coldly rejected by Lin Ruhai.

Looking at his later correspondence with Jia Zheng and his praise of Jia Yucun, I think these people are all the same.

Wasn't Jia Zheng treating Baoyu so coldly?

But looking at it today, perhaps Lin Ruhai had a great epiphany between life and death, gained a lot more popularity, had the love of a father, and was not even afraid to show it in front of others.

Such people may be a little out of line in the eyes of mainstream scholar-officials.

But in Jia Qiang's opinion, such people are vivid and have more flexible wisdom!

What kind of person Lin Ruhai is is crucial to Jia Qiang's situation in Jiangnan.

In fact, Lin Ruhai's immortality is equally important to his future situation after returning to Beijing.

Putting aside these things, I just want to think that Daiyu never lost her father. For this reason, her name in the Bomingsi should be mentioned.

This girl is quite interesting...

Jia Qiang narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at the crescent moon in the sky, and seemed to see a pair of eyes...

At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of bamboo strings not far away. He stood up and looked west, only to see a little candlelight coming through the bamboo forest.

There seems to be a peerless beauty in white clothes and white skirt at the other end of the bamboo forest, playing the piano and singing softly.

Jia Qiang was not attracted by the sound of the piano like the scholar in the storybook.

Because he is not confused yet, this is Lin Ruhai's back house, and there are several of his concubines in the back house.

Even if the woman opposite was really extremely beautiful, he couldn't mess with her.

What's more, in addition to the peerless beauty, there is also a female ghost who may be the life of a bad person...

Shaking her head slightly, feeling a little regretful that the elegance of her night outing with a candle had been ruined, Jia Qiang picked up the lantern and turned around to go back.

A gentleman is cautious in his independence and does not deceive himself into a dark room.

It is still necessary to use the principles of life left by our ancestors to cultivate ourselves.

Little did he know that this scene would also fall into the eyes of others, making them nod secretly...

You can see the leopard through the tube, at least it is rare to see character.

…

ps: Character... is still strong!
