On the second day, after visiting the last two residences of his family friends, Jia Lian packed his bags and set off back to Yangzhou on the third day.

Two days later, when he arrived outside Yangzhou City, Jia Lian did not enter the city. Instead, he went to the dock to prepare the ship.

This time when he returned to Yangzhou, he was not going to waste any more time, but to return to Beijing immediately.

There were two ships sent by the Jia Mansion, and they were not too big. Jia Lian counted the people and found that they were a little crowded, so he ordered to rent two more small passenger ships.

One boat is for Jia Yu Village alone, and the other is used to disperse the people in Jia Mansion to make everyone's journey more comfortable.

After arranging things on the ship properly, especially checking that there was nothing inappropriate in the cabin where Daiyu lived, Jia Lian was ready to go back to pick up Daiyu.

As for Xiangling, it was put on the boat first. The little girl was weak and could not withstand long-term bumps, so when she came back from Nanjing, Jia Lian hired a carriage for her. Because of this, it took a lot of time.

Returning to Lin Mansion, Jia Lian first came to ask for resignation from Lin Ruhai.

"You're leaving tomorrow, so urgent?" Lin Ruhai was a little surprised when he heard that Jia Lian said he would leave for Beijing tomorrow.

"If uncle still wants to stay with Sister Lin for one more day, then he can leave the day after tomorrow."

Hearing what Jia Lian said, Lin Ruhai knew that Jia Lian was returning home. Jing was heartbroken, and he was relieved when he thought that Jia Lian's trip to Jiangnan had taken almost three months.

"That's all, it doesn't make any difference if you go one day earlier or one day later. Since you have decided to return tomorrow, let's do it tomorrow."

Lin Ruhai sighed and said. When Jia Lian and others left, they also took their daughter away. Now, his place became more and more deserted.

Jia Lian also saw that Lin Ruhai was not in a very good condition. He hesitated but couldn't help but persuaded: "My uncle is responsible for salt administration for the imperial court. He has a heavy responsibility, but my nephew still wants to persuade my uncle. , don’t work too much, and put your body first in everything.

What if my uncle breaks his body from working too hard, how sad will sister Lin be? So even if my uncle doesn’t think about himself, he should think about it. Sister Lin should think more about it."

Lin Ruhai could naturally see Jia Lian's concern, and this concern was so real that it was difficult to hide it. For a moment, she felt some comfort in her heart, and smiled: " You don’t have to worry too much about me, I still know my body, it’s not that bad. And as you said, ‘*******’, my six-foot body is nothing.”

When Jia Lian saw Lin Ruhai responding to him with what he had said, he didn't know how to persuade him.

Did he tell Lin Ruhai that you don’t have much time to live?Now, in two more years at most, I will have to report to the Lord of Hell?

He did not reply for a while, but Lin Ruhai laughed: "You are from a famous family, and you are still young, so you should plan to serve the country. Taking care of the family business at home and respecting the elders are important, but after all, they are not The first thing a good man should consider is.

Now that the imperial court is in the midst of employing people, after you return to Beijing from this trip, you should put more thought into your official career and government affairs."

Although Lin Ruhai felt that it was a pity for someone like Jia Lian to just stay at home and take care of the house. After all, he was just a nephew of his wife's family and it was not easy to teach him too much, so he just mentioned it lightly.

He also did not tell Jia Lian that he had mentioned him intentionally in his thank-you note to the emperor, which was considered as a support within his ability as an elder.

But he only created a possible opportunity. Whether he can seize it and whether he can make a future depends on Jia Lian himself.

　……

　The mighty Divine Capital and the majestic Forbidden City.

Deep in the imperial palace, Emperor Ningkang, who was nearly fifty years old, stood behind a large dragon table, holding a pen and writing.

In front of him, ten steps away in the main hall, was a young man in rich clothes, kneeling there timidly, with a stern and uneasy look on his face.

"I heard that you guys were fighting cocks outside the martial arts arena, and you beat up Prince Duan?"

"The young man was even more troubled by the question without even raising his head during the conversation. Shrinking his shoulders, he had to reply quickly: "Replying to my father, it was not the son who made the move first, but the son who scolded him first. The son was so angry that he pushed him twice. Who knew he was being a rogue? , just lying on the ground and rolling..."

"The martial arts field built by our ancestors was originally specially used for you to fight horses and cocks." Emperor Ning Kang snorted.

Seeing that the strategy of avoiding the important and taking the easy was not achieved, the young man was completely cowed and bowed his head and said: "I know my mistake, please punish me."

There was no response for a while. , just when the young man raised his eyes to look, he heard Emperor Ningkang say: "I heard that you have a chicken from Siam, and you named him General Shenwei. Is this true?"

"It's just for fun, don't take it seriously..."

"How brave!"

Emperor Ning Kang finally showed a angry look on his face, One hand fell on the case, making a loud sound.

"Since our dynasty Dingding, several people have been awarded the title of 'Shenwei General'. Some of them have contributed to the founding of the country, and some are famous generals. These people are all meritorious ministers of our great Wei Dynasty. Now , you call a beast this name, and you allow others to spread the word, which is a disgrace to these people.Where is it, and where is the face of the imperial court? "

Seeing that Emperor Ningkang was angry, the young man quickly defended: "Father, please calm down. I have no intention of humiliating the hero. I just didn't check it for a while. I will change it after I return." "

" "No need!" "

Emperor Ning Kang waved his hand coldly and shouted: "Dai Quan. "

"The old slave is here. "

"You lead a group of guards to the fourth prince's house and watch with your own eyes behead that beast. "

Upon hearing that Emperor Ning Kang wanted to kill his mighty general, the fourth prince became completely anxious. He knelt down and begged for mercy, trying to save his beloved general's life.

All he got was a cold snort.

Seeing that Dai Quan had exited the hall, the fourth prince sat on the ground in despair.

“Come here! "

The fourth prince stepped forward as ordered, but still did not dare to look directly at Emperor Ning Kang.

"After you go back, write a policy paper with this title as the title, and give it to me in three days. Go down. Bar. ”

Seeing Emperor Ning Kang hand him an imperial letter, the fourth prince quickly took it without thinking too much.

Seeing that Emperor Ning Kang had already sat down, he stopped paying attention. What he meant was that he had no choice but to leave dejectedly.

After leaving the main hall, the fourth prince wanted to return to the palace quickly, maybe in time to save his general's life. Finally, he looked back at the majestic palace and gave up. The idea may completely anger my father.

“What kind of strategy are you asking me to write again? You know I’m most bothered by writing this...”

Muttering in his mouth, He unfolded the topic given to him by the emperor, and saw the seven words dancing in the air:

************.

What does it mean? The fourth prince said that he It’s hard to understand clearly.

…

On the vast Grand Canal, two large, two small and four fast boats are moving forward like breaking through the ice and waves.

Jia Lian stood on the deck, looking at the wide river, feeling the stability under his feet, and felt straight in his heart that it was indeed more comfortable to take a boat.

The last time he went to Yangzhou from the capital, even with his equipment It was complete, and his inner thighs were almost bald. If he really wanted to let him do this again, he really had to think carefully about it.

Suddenly, he felt a faint fragrance coming from around him, and Jia Lian turned to I took a quick look, and sure enough it was Miss Daiyu who got a big cloak and walked out. Behind her was the silly girl Xue Yan.

Jia Lian smiled slightly and turned around to continue admiring the scenery along the coast. .

DaiyuSeeing that Jia Lian ignored her, she pouted slightly, stood next to Jia Lian, and looked into the distance as well.

After a while, he finally took the initiative to speak: "Brother Lian, why don't you teach Xiangling how to write in the room?"

"My skills are too poor, I'm sorry to mislead others. Disciple."

"Hee."

The short and straightforward words made Daiyu couldn't help laughing, and then she hurriedly covered her mouth and looked at Jia Lian, fearing that he would be angry. .

“Don’t hold it back, just laugh if you want.”

Daiyu’s smile turned out to be brighter and brighter.

Last time she rarely went to see Jia Lian in his room, she happened to see Jia Lian teaching Xiang Ling how to read.

Xiang Ling was originally a Mengtong who didn’t recognize a word, so she could teach Jia Lian no matter how good she was in reasoning. However, she discovered at a glance that Jia Lian had written a word incorrectly, missing a few strokes. Jia Lian was so embarrassed that he immediately decided not to be a teacher again.

Therefore, this is also the reason why she asked and Jia Lian deliberately responded like this.

Daiyu was too delicate after all, and the river wind was cold and cold. When she smiled, she was blown again, and she suddenly felt that it was harder to breathe, and her face turned red.

When Jia Lian saw this, he turned around and tied the collar of the cloak on her chest tighter.

This is a very common move, but because he is much taller than Daiyu, now he is bowing, his face is very close to Daiyu, and his hands are closer to Daiyu’s chest. Recently, these two or three moments made Daiyu feel ashamed and took a step back in panic.

Jia Lian was stunned for a moment, looking at Daiyu’s face as pretty as a small apple and the way she lowered her head shyly. For a moment, she just felt that God was really unfair. Daiyu was so beautiful at this age. State, what will happen in the future?

No wonder that Jia Erbao, who embodies the great love and love in the world, can be impressed.

He turned his head and advised: "Since my sister can't withstand the wind, don't stand here anymore. Go back to the house and rest."

But obviously Dai Jade has a childish temper. If Jia Lian hadn't said that, she might have gone back to the house. But now that Jia Lian says that, it seems like she is so weak!

He refused to leave, stood beside Jia Lian again, and asked: "Second brother Lian said last time that he would tell me when he arrived in the capital. Now that he is almost here, second brother should always Please tell me the personalities and preferences of the sisters at home."

In fact, Daiyu doesn't care about this very much. What she believes in is that she will get closer to whoever is good, and vice versa. That’s it. So from the beginning she never thought about trying to please anyone after arriving in the capital, which naturally included Jia Jia.Three sisters in the family.

Besides, even if she wanted to inquire about this, she could actually ask Zhou Rui's family and others.

The reason why she only asked Jia Lian was because she and Jia Lian only had these topics to talk about.

Jia Lian said: "Well, since you insist on asking, I will tell you briefly.

Let's talk about your youngest fourth sister first. Xichun is a quiet and lovely cute girl.

And your third sister, named Tanchun, is the most intelligent and generous person, and is also closest to your age.

Finally, let’s talk about your two second sisters. Your second sister, named Yingchun, is the most gentle and gentle person. She is also my biological sister. You are not allowed to bully her in the future."

Jia Lian's words made Daiyu frown. She had no time to respond to Jia Lian's joke on her. She asked curiously: "Aren't there only three sisters in your family? The fourth sister is Xichun, and the third sister is Tanchun. These are already two "Why are there two second sisters?

Tell me, who is the other one?"

Jia Lian said: "Why don't you have two second sisters? Your second sister's name is mine. I won’t tell you anymore. Anyway, you will know when you get home. You can just call her Sister Bao or Sister Yu. It’s all up to you. She is also a good person at home, and she is younger than your sister Yingchun, so naturally It's your second sister, just remember it."

Daiyu immediately looked at Jia Lian with dissatisfaction. She was very sure that Jia Lian was causing trouble.

When her mother was still alive, she told her about some situations in the Jia family, so it was not easy for Jia Lian to deceive her.

What’s disgusting is that no matter how hard he glares at him, Jia Lian just smiles and says nothing.

A member of Zhou Rui's family who was passing by happened to hear it and said with a smile: "Miss Lin, don't listen to our second master. There are no two second girls. He is talking about our second master Bao." His nickname is Baoyu, and he is also the girl's cousin."

When Daiyu heard this, she still didn't understand that Jia Lian was teasing her. She stared at Jia Lian with a frown for a long time, and finally said angrily: "Lian Second brother, you are so annoying."

After saying that, he returned to the cabin angrily.

Jia Lian looked at Daiyu’s angry figure with a smile, and asked secretly, did he say something wrong?

Jia Baoyu was originally a woman.

Women and women cannot be together. This is the ultimate principle of yin and yang in heaven and earth.
