After wandering on the Grand Canal for nearly a month, I arrived in the capital.

On the pier, Jia's mules, horses, carriages, sedans, etc. were already waiting. Jia Lian was arranging everything. Suddenly he saw Jia Yucun approaching. He left his chores, stepped forward, cupped his hands and smiled: "One day Everything was busy on the road, but I neglected Mr. Yucun."

Jia Yucun quickly returned the courtesy and replied very politely: "Brother, you are too polite. I have been taking care of you all the way. Now, brother, say this, I am really ashamed of myself."

Jia Lian smiled and said, "Mr. Yucun's carriage is ready, please come with me."

Jia Yucun however Shaking his head, he said, "I am just here to say goodbye. Firstly, my brother has returned home from afar and is busy with many things, so I don't want to disturb you. Secondly, I have some friends in the capital and am about to pay a visit.

　So, let’s say goodbye.”

Although Jia Yucun wanted to be reinstated as soon as possible, he knew not to act too hastily.

If he immediately went to see Jia Zheng as soon as he entered the capital, it might make people think that he is a man who is obsessed with specializing in business and is greedy for power. Therefore, he decided to return to the capital to make some repairs and wait for a day or two. It would be appropriate for Jia Zheng to pay a visit after reading Lin Ruhai's letter.

Jia Lian seemed to understand what Jia Yucun was thinking, and did not force it. He just asked: "It's still a mile or twenty miles away from the capital. Can it be cheap, sir?"

"Brother, I won't bother you. I still have some travel expenses. I'll take my leave."

Jia Yucun finished his courtesy, bowed, then turned around and strode away, which was quite free and easy.

Jia Lian watched him go away, thinking that if this guy didn't go bad, he would be a very charming person.

Shaking her head, she ignored him and went to the boat to pick up Daiyu and wait for her. After packing everything up, the long team headed towards the capital.

Daiyu knew that the Duke Hou Men’s house was full of people with mixed views and wealthy people. Now that she had arrived at his house, she knew that her grandmother wanted to take her here to stay temporarily, but she didn’t know. He thought she had defected to his family.

Therefore, after getting off the boat, she secretly made up her mind to pay more attention to everything and never let others underestimate her.

After getting on the sedan chair and entering the city, I looked through the screen window at the street outside. Sure enough, the prosperity of the streets in Beijing and the abundance of people were unparalleled anywhere else.

After walking for another half day, she suddenly realized that the surroundings were much quieter. She quietly opened some gauze curtains and saw two large stone lions squatting on the north side of the street. There were about ten people in gorgeous clothes sitting there. The main door is not open, only the east and west corner doors have people coming in and out. There is a plaque on the main door with the words "Edict to Build Ningguo Mansion".

Going forward for a while, there were also three gates. Daiyu was thinking about it when she suddenly felt that the team stopped. After a while, she saw Jia Lian riding up to her sedan and said: "Sister Lin, we have arrived. , this is our home. Sister, please go in with them, the old lady can't wait to see her sister."

Daiyu said hurriedly: "Brother Lian, don't you want to go in with us?"

"I'm going to see my father first."

Jia Lian said, seeming to be reluctant to leave Daiyu, even though he knew she was new here and wanted someone familiar. Jia Lian was still very happy despite being surrounded by her.

Finally, more than three months of hard work paid off, and the little girl already regarded him as a trustworthy person.

Seeing Daiyu nodding and silently putting down the gauze curtain, Jia Lian smiled again and said: "By the way, there is one more thing for me to ask my sister."

"Brother Lian, please "Say."

Jia Lian smiled and said: "I will ask Xiangling to follow her sister in to see the old lady later. As you know, Xiangling is weak and timid. Sister Lin has seen big battles. She has to help take care of her, and don’t let others scare her."

In the sedan, Daiyu sniffed for no reason, what, she is the guest, okay, so she actually let her Help take care of Xiangling!

However, why do you still feel a little happy?

After thinking about it, Daiyu replied like this: "She is not my girl, how can I protect her? If Brother Lian is afraid that others will scare her, he should protect her himself. Now.”

“Since my sister agreed, I’m relieved.”

Seeing Jia Lian say such words, he rode away and Daiyu stamped her feet angrily. Stomped his feet.

Why did she agree? She didn't believe that Jia Lian didn't hear clearly, so he must have done it on purpose. He was really a cunning and hateful person.

Even so, Daiyu decided in her heart that if Xiangling was really in trouble later, she would help her as a favor to Jia Lian.

After the sedans of Daiyu, Xiangling and others entered the west corner gate, Jia Lian withdrew his gaze and looked at the remaining cars. Except for two and a half carts of famous Jiangnan wines, the rest were all gifts he bought for his family members.

Asking Zhou Rui to arrange to move all other things to his yard, Jia Lian called Zhao'er, Xing'er and others, packed the two carts with forty jars of wine, and headed east across the courtyard. Go.

The reason why he intercepted ten jars of wine was that he could taste it slowly in the future, and also to tell everyone that he did not deliberately use strong wine to kill his father, but was simply filial...

　……

In the Rongqing Hall, Daiyu and Jiamu, one was sentimental and the other was old and longed for her relatives. When they met, they couldn't help themselves. They both held their heads and cried. If it weren't for the comfort of others, they would just I was afraid that someone would have to cry out and break the story before I could give up.

Jia Mu has not seen her granddaughter since she was born. Now that she has finally seen her, she is overjoyed. She also sees Daiyu’s slender and graceful appearance, and she is extremely fond of her. Nothing is impossible.

Seeing that Daiyu only brought a wet nurse and a little girl to serve, she knew that this was Lin Ruhai's sensible and polite person. When Daiyu came to her place, all life matters were naturally left to her grandmother to arrange.

At that moment, he decided to arrange the people who had served Daiyu well according to the example of Yingchun and others, and also gave Daiyu a very sensible and loyal girl named Yingge, and changed her name. Rhododendron.

After giving the order, Jia Mu was holding Daiyu, preparing to take care of her beautiful granddaughter, when she saw another girl walking up to her in a delicate and delicate manner. Although his expression was a bit restrained and embarrassed, it was very rare to see that look.

Looking carefully, she actually looks a bit like her great-grandson’s daughter-in-law in Dongfu!

“Who is this girl?”

Jia Mu bent down and asked.

Zhou Rui’s family had already received orders from Jia Lian, so she personally led Xiang Ling out. After Xiang Ling kowtowed to Jia Mu, Fang supported Xiang Ling and said with a smile: "Old lady, you Can you take a look at this girl?"

Jia's mother is an experienced person. Looking at this posture, she guessed that it was probably the woman Jia Lian was looking for outside.

But she was a calm person. She didn’t say anything first, but smiled and said: “Bring me here and let me take a closer look.”

Zhou Rui’s family will Xiang Ling was brought to Jia Mu. Xiang Ling was about to bow again. Jia Mu had already grabbed her and looked Xiang Ling up and down with squinted eyes.

Even Jia Mu couldn’t find anything bad about Xiangling’s appearance. What’s rare is that although she is delicate and frail, she has no pretentious and kitsch temperament.

"She is indeed a good girl, where did she come from?"

Jia Mu took the lead in asking, but in fact many women in the hall also had guesses like Jia Mu. I knew it was a woman that Jia Lian brought from outside, and since Jia Lian dared to bring her back to show Jia Mu, he liked her very much.

Zhou Rui's family specially gave everyone time to guess, and then smiled and said: "Speaking of this girl's origin, it is a bit strange. The old lady doesn't know. This girl's life experience is also very pitiful. ..."

Zhou Rui's family sent Jia Lian to Nanjing to visit relatives and friends. It happened by chance.He was kidnapped and the process of rescuing the person was slowly told.

There is nothing to hide about this matter. Almost everyone who went to Jiangnan on this trip knows about it.

It was because Zhou Rui's family wanted to sell well, and they deliberately told bizarre twists and turns. Everyone in the court was as if they had heard something from a book, and they were all amazed.

Jia Mu also asked: "How could it be such a coincidence that Brother Lian happened to bump into you?"

"No, listen to me. People say that the second master personally sent the kidnapper to Yingtian Mansion for this matter. The master of Yingtian Mansion also thanked the second master, saying that he had helped him solve an unjust case."

Jia Mu nodded and looked at Xiang Ling with a bit more pity.

"In this way, this child is indeed pitiful. But now that he has arrived at our house, it's okay. Feng Yatou and Brother Lian are generally good, but they are not good at all. I will treat her badly."

Everyone agreed with Jia Mu's words, and then Jia Mu remembered that she had neglected her precious granddaughter, and quickly held Daiyu in her arms again, smiling and saying: "Go and get her The girls are all called here. There are visitors from far away today, so they don’t need to go to school."

　"Yes..."
