Daily life of world cleaners [Comprehensive]

Chapter 179 Re-entering the Red Mansion 08

For children, there are some new surprises in the first few days, but if it exceeds three days, it will be dull.The river water outside the boat window and the fish jumping from time to time can no longer attract the children's interest.

But for Lin Ruhai, a court official who is busy with official duties every day.The life on this boat, apart from the small place to move around, is also carefree.It's okay to catch a fish, teach the children homework, watch the sunset with my wife or draw a picture or compose a poem.The day passed quickly.

Lin Ruhai found that since she was reborn and brought back her little daughter's life, everything started to go in a good direction.Not only the eldest daughter and son are in good health, but he and his wife are also healthy day by day.

After he left the position of Xunyan Yushi, the future direction of their Lin family will be very different from his previous life.Under this chain reaction, it is unknown whether those major events will happen as they are remembered.

But Lin Ruhai didn't care much about these things.Now their Lin family has survived the catastrophe, and if there is anything in the future, it is because they are not cautious enough and their skills are not as good as others.

After traveling in the officialdom for so many years, after realizing the reality, Lin Ruhai is not afraid of those people's tricks.In the future, the water will come to cover it, and the soldiers will come to block it.

On this day, Lin Ruhai was explaining the first part of the Book of Rites to his family's three brats who would occasionally get offended.When it comes to "a woman who is married, she writes with a pen", Ji Yue, a hypocrite, thinks about the fact that the precious egg of Jia's family will give Lin Daiyu a calligraphy in the future.

"Daddy, my younger brother can only take calligraphy at the age of 20, and my sister and I can only take calligraphy at the age of fifteen?" Ji Yue asked curiously.

"Daddy, can I get the characters in advance?" Lin Haoyu asked after Ji Yue.

"Daddy, can I get my brother's character?" Lin Daiyu also wanted to know if she could get her brother's character.

"Twenty for men and fifteen for women, the characters are chosen by the parents and elders. The characters are the sign of a person's adulthood." Lin Ruhai said, stroking his beard. "There are also cases where characters are obtained in advance. After Hao'er is admitted as a scholar, my father will select characters for you."

"So I can't take characters for my brother!" Daiyu was a little disappointed.

"You silly child, both parents are here, and it's not your turn!" Jia Min who was on the side smiled and looked at her daughter's disappointed look.

The smart Lin family siblings knew from Jia Min's words that only when there are no parents and elders, will it be the turn of the peers to pick the characters.

"Father, if I pass the examination for scholar in my teens, will I be able to use calligraphy?" Haoyu asked, if so, he would finish reading these books sooner and go for examination for scholar earlier.With words, everyone will not treat him as a child.

"Yes! As long as you pass the examination as a scholar, Daddy will choose you." Lin Ruhai said with a smile. He is still very confident in himself and his son. As far as Haoer's talent is concerned, there is no pressure to pass the examination before the age of 12. .

"It would be great if I could take the imperial examination too, so that I could have written words sooner!" Daiyu felt sorry for being a girl.Obviously she reads much better than her younger brother.

"Okay! We're going to Xuzhou later, we arrived early today, so we can get off the boat and go for a walk." Jia Min hurriedly changed the subject, she is a talented woman.Her daughter's regret now was once her regret.

"When we arrived in Huaiyin last time, my mother didn't let us disembark. Daddy will definitely take us for a stroll this time!" Lin Haoyu was immediately happy when he said disembarkation.He has been really suffocated for a while.

It was not yet noon when the Lin family's boat arrived in Xuzhou.According to the itinerary, I was supposed to arrive in Xuzhou last night, rest in Xuzhou today, and start tomorrow.However, due to the change of weather yesterday afternoon, the itinerary was a little slower.

Fortunately, it was originally arranged to take a rest today, and now there is still more than half a day to work, so let's hurry up, and we can still leave on time tomorrow.Of course, these supplies of the Lin family are purchased by the housekeeper and the steward's wives to take care of them.After the master of the Lin family landed on the boat, the whole family went ashore with the servants and maids to play (leave the wind).

Since boarding the boat, this is the first time to go ashore. After floating in the water and then walking on the shore, the feeling is really different.At least Ji Yue felt that when she first came ashore, she felt that the ground was shaking.Fortunately, after walking on the shore for a while, the shaking feeling disappeared.

Xuzhou deserves to be a battleground for military strategists in history.Sitting in a sedan chair from the port, Lin Daiyu and Ji Yue raised the curtain of the sedan chair to look out because they were young and there were not many restrictions.

"Sister, the streets in Xuzhou look similar to those in Yangzhou."

All right!Seven-year-old Lin Daiyu has been in poor health these years, and has never gone out for a walk.That is, before leaving Yangzhou, after Lin Ruhai handed over his official duties, he took a few children out once he had time.I also went to a restaurant for a meal, and visited a few famous shops, bought some snacks, jewelry and some gadgets.

Before disembarking today, Lin Ruhai, the father of the Lin family, told them a lot about Xuzhou.

"Wait a while, I must try all the specialties of Xuzhou." Lin Daiyu said with confidence.

But it's not that Ji Yue underestimated this one, because of this small appetite, if she wants to taste all the delicacies in Xuzhou, she probably just eats one bite of each, and she will probably be full.

Although Lin Daiyu's health has improved a lot, and her daily activity has increased a lot, her doubled appetite is still too little in Ji Yue's opinion.

The bowls eaten by the Lin family members are really small. Every time Ji Yue eats alone, she basically sweeps the table to get enough.When I started eating with Jia Min and the others, I was basically never full.

It took Ji Yue nearly a month to slowly increase the amount of food in front of Jia Min to enough for her to eat.Occasionally, when she does a little more exercise, she has to go back to her room for extra meals.

Ji Yue's big appetite really scared Jia Min at first, so she hurriedly called a doctor to check on Ji Yue.Who made Ji Yue eat five times as much as Lin Daiyu!Don't worry until the doctor says that Ji Yue is healthy and has no food accumulation at all.

Later, Jia Min thought about it, when she was a girl in her mother's family, the bowl she ate was bigger than the bowl she eats now. When she first married into the Lin family, she couldn't get enough to eat.After a long time, the appetite became smaller, but I got used to it.

In fact, except for the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year when she accompanied them to eat in her courtyard, girl Xuan always ate with her aunt in the small courtyard.According to Aunt Liu's temperament, she will probably let the child eat according to Yu'er's appetite.Thinking of these, Jia Min no longer struggled with Ji Yue's appetite.This child has been healthier than Yu'er and the others since he was a child, and his appetite is normal.

All right!In fact, the original owner's appetite was only twice that of Lin Daiyu's, not five times that at all.But hasn't Ji Yue started to practice Xiao Wuxiang Gong, Lingbo Weibu and Baihong Palm Technique?This exercise consumes a lot of energy, and when she grows her body, doesn't her appetite suddenly increase a lot!

Actually!Ji Yue's appetite would only be two and a half bowls if he used the rice bowls of ordinary people, which is really not scary at all.The rice bowls of the Lin family are one size smaller, and the rice bowls for the children are even smaller (small tea bowls).Ji Yue can finish a bowl of rice in two bites.When Lin Daiyu started, she couldn't finish half a bowl of rice.Comparing the two, doesn't it seem that Ji Yue's appetite is particularly large!

Fortunately, the food intake of Lin Ruhai's family increased a lot later, and they had to eat at least two bowls of small bowls. Now, for the sake of looking good, Jia Min changed his rice bowls into normal-sized rice bowls. Only then did Ji Yue's appetite look normal, and she added less food twice each time.

Since all of them became able to eat, their bones have become much stronger.It's just that Jia Min used to have discomfort all over his body from time to time, but now these discomforts are gone.From then on, Jia Min felt that the old saying that being able to eat is a blessing was true at all.

Unknowingly, everyone in the Lin family has gone farther and farther in the direction of foodies.

When Lin Daiyu and Ji Yue were talking about eating Xuzhou's special food, Jia Min also hugged her son and talked about the few special dishes she had eaten when she passed by Xuzhou last time.

"Mother, there really is a dish called Farewell My Concubine!" Lin Haoyu had heard of the play of Farewell My Concubine, but he never knew that Farewell My Concubine was not only the name of the show, but also the name of the dish!

"When I passed by Xuzhou last time, my mother was not very well, so I just tasted a few special dishes here. In fact, the taste was good, but unfortunately my mother didn't have a good appetite at that time, so I just tasted it. Yes. But this Farewell My Concubine soup, my mother drank it well at that time, but I can eat a bowl of rice with the soup!"

Over the years, the cook at home has also made this dish, but the taste is not as good as the one she drank back then.This time when he revisited the old place, Jia Min wanted to go to that restaurant to eat Farewell My Concubine again, to see if it was the cook's dish that wasn't authentic, or if the soup was just delicious to her at the time.

Lin Ruhai is also a little tired of the food on the boat these days.It's just that I prepared a lot at home, but after all, the seats on the boat are small, and some of them are just a few small stoves.Most of the food that can be cooked is stew and the like.There are many tricks, but the main thing is that it is inseparable from the word stew.

Thinking about Xuzhou’s delicacies in a travel book I read before, Lin Ruhai touched his beard and thought, this time his body has improved a lot, and his appetite has more than doubled recently, this time it’s okay Eat all the delicacies mentioned in this travel note.It doesn't have to be like last time, just taste each dish, and after a few mouthfuls, I can't eat it anymore.Thinking of the delicacies lost over the years, I suddenly felt a pity.
