Fairy Road Return [comprehensive]

Chapter 167 The Red Chamber 'True Love' - 65

Yuanhua five years, November.

Last night, the first snow of this year fell in the sky, and overnight, the whole world turned into a vast expanse of whiteness.

In Lancheng, which is a hundred miles away from the capital, there are several large ships parked on the pier outside the city. Originally, the large ships stopped here temporarily, and they would continue to go north to the capital the next day, but they didn’t want the temperature to drop suddenly and the river be blocked. As a result, several ships parked at Lancheng Wharf could not return to Beijing, and the passengers on the passenger ship had to find their own way to return to Beijing by land transportation.

It just so happened that Lin Hai, who was the governor of Liangjiang at the time, had just handed over his official duties to his successor and returned to Beijing with his family. The Lin family was on this passenger ship, which was blocked in Lancheng. It is not known when the river will be unsealed. Lin Hai also sent a housekeeper Arrange carriages, this place is not far from the capital, they'd better go back to Beijing as soon as possible.

The wind was blowing, and the cold was threatening.

Lin Hai has not neglected his martial arts these years, and his body is a bit healthier than when he was a teenager. He is not afraid of such severe cold, and he is watching the people on the dock who are still working in the wind and snow on the deck.

"Father, when are we going to leave?" A delicate and soft voice came from behind him, followed by several footsteps, and someone had already arrived behind him.

The visitor was covered in a thick coat, except for a pair of star-like eyes.

Lin Hai held his daughter's hand in both hands, and found that her daughter's hand was not cold, so he couldn't help laughing: "Are you awake? Where are your mother and the others?"

The girl tilted her head and glanced at the cabin, flattened her mouth: "My brother is stinky, it stinks, it stinks."

Lin Hai laughed even louder, rubbed his daughter's head, and said with a smile, "My brother is still young and I can't control it. Dai'er is a sister, so don't dislike him."

Jia Min and Lin Hai have been married for more than 20 years. They have four sons and a daughter. The eldest son is over 20 years old. He passed the imperial examination three years ago, and now the young couple is already in the capital.The second son is only 17 years old. He is a smart young man, but unfortunately he is lazy, so he might sleep in the room in the dark.The third son is only eight years old, and the little guy is also born smart, especially when it comes to reading. Not only does he never forget his memory, but it's not much different. I'm afraid the little guy is reading books obsessively.The fourth son is about to be one year old and doesn't understand anything.The one Lin Hai and Jia Min held in their hands the most was their 13-year-old daughter, whose baby name was Daiyu. I'm afraid it will melt in my mouth.

"I don't know if my grandfather has forgotten me." Daiyu muttered. She has returned to the capital twice since she was born. When she was eight years old, it was also her grandfather's birthday. After that, she never went back to Beijing until her father was transferred back to Beijing this time.

Lin Hai rubbed his daughter's head, and said in a melancholy tone, "Your grandfather has a good memory, why can't he remember you?"

On the side of Rongguo Mansion, Jia Daishan was in Xinheng for 12 years. After the death of the Supreme Emperor, he gave up the title to his son to inherit it. He is the real old man of Rongguo Mansion. Will come to discuss matters with him.

Lixiangyuan, Jia Daishan's residence after his 'retirement', of course Yunyao lived with him.Maybe it's because the body is getting old, so is the mentality. Yunyao is now living the life of an old person, and her heart is very peaceful.

Jia Daishan is over 80 years old, and Yunyao looks ten years younger than him, and she is also over seventy years old now. Every time she looks at the old lady with white hair in the mirror, she has no extra thoughts in her heart.

It may be that Zhen Yao's body was damaged too badly. After Yun Yao was 60 years old, her hair became very white, but her face did not age so fast, and her face looked ten years younger.

"That woman Shi's is still so indistinguishable. Her son, fortunately, has a few elder brothers as role models. Otherwise, he would look like a playboy, unable to lift his shoulders and hands. What could he do? Fortunately, he was born in Wealthy family, otherwise I would have starved to death." Jia Daishan complained in front of Yun Yao.

Yunyao didn't even raise her eyelids, this person really holds grudges, isn't it because the Liu family boy accidentally came to Lixiangyuan last time, disturbing his cleanliness, not to mention he scolded him a lot, and he hasn't calmed down yet?

Yunyao never understood Shi's thoughts. When Jia Daishan was in charge of the family, she never came to Rongguo Mansion. Later, Rongguo Mansion was replaced by Jia She. Come and join in, as soon as she comes, Zhang Yan and Zhuge Qing will definitely treat her as a guest of honor.

In the 18th year of Xinheng, the government of Liguo participated in the battle for the succession of several princes. In order to save his son from danger, the government of Liguo took everything on himself. Passed away from illness, and after Li Guogong's funeral was over, Li Guogong's title was downgraded to Earl. In order to respect Uncle Li, the eldest son of his original spouse would naturally inherit the title.

After the old man passed away and his title was downgraded, Uncle Jingli's family was separated as a matter of course. Shi Shi naturally lived with his own son. Although his son was raised to be a playboy, he did not do anything illegal. So the mother and son happily separated and lived alone, and then Liu Hongshen looked like, the Liu family was rich but powerless, so for the sake of his children and grandchildren, Shi remembered that she had two sons, the youngest son was the helper. Great A Dou, the grandson is always obedient, so Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng were asked to support the nephew, so the two families had more contacts.

"Okay, what are you complaining about? The boy from the Liu family is married, and that is also the nephew of the eldest and second child. The eldest and second child's family should go to the wedding banquet." Yun Yao said speechlessly.

Isn't it the Liu family's wedding banquet today?Does he need to be upset that both his son and daughter-in-law ran to Liu's house?Could it be that he could really make the two brothers, Jia She and Yu Shi, sever their relationship with their mother and daughter?This is obviously impossible!

Changing the topic, Yun Yao said: "Last time the Lin family came to report that Min'er and son-in-law are back, I don't know if it will be affected by the weather?"

Now Jia Daishan really looked happy, "I originally thought about not letting Lin Hai go to Jiangnan, but his mother passed away, and the family went back to Suzhou to observe their filial piety, and was directly sent to Yangzhou as an official by His Majesty. Let me know." Because of this, Jia Daishan had been waiting to see Emperor Xinheng for a long time, and it was Emperor Xinheng who gave him a great gift, which made him happy.

Now Daqi’s economy is developed, and the transportation is convenient. It’s only a ten-day flight from the capital to the south of the Yangtze River. But Jia Daishan is over 70 years old. Even though he looks very healthy, the imperial doctor said that he is in good health. Jia Amnesty and Jia Yuan did not allow their father to travel any further. Jia Daishan had no choice but to stay in the capital, and the farthest place was to go to Biezhuang for vacation.

While speaking, Jia Zhang's figure appeared in sight and walked into Lixiangyuan from a distance.

Yun Yao narrowed her eyes with a smile, if it is true that everyone in the family went to the Liu family to attend the wedding banquet of Liu Hongshen's eldest son, there is still one person here who did not go, and that is Jia Zhang.

Everyone in the family knew that Jia Zhang didn't like going to Liu's house. Jia She could not do anything with this son. This son had been upright since he was a child, and he didn't listen to anyone.

"Grandfather, grandmother." Jia Zhang came in and saluted the two, Jia Daishan waved his hand: "It's so cold, don't be too polite." Yun Yao asked the maid to serve hot tea.

Jia Zhang sat down with a straight posture, and then said: "Grandfather, grandmother, the Lin family sent a letter, saying that the boat that the fourth aunt and uncle were on was blocked at the Lancheng Wharf, and the waters at the wharf were frozen. I don't know when it will be thawed, and I'm afraid it will take a few more days to return to Beijing."

Jia Daishan patted his thigh: "Sure enough, Lancheng? Fortunately, it's not too far away. It should take five days to reach the capital by land." Normally, it only takes two days to reach the capital, but now the Lin family has a lot of things , even if the people go first and the goods are lagging behind, it is difficult to go on land in this windy and snowy weather, so it will take more time.

Jia Zhang nodded, and Jia Daishan's eyes were on him. He is now in his 30s. He joined the army when he was 16 years old. After the grasslands were annexed by Daquan, it became more and more difficult to earn military merits. Now only at sea, wars often occur. It is easy to earn military merits at sea, but it is much more dangerous, and everyone's eyes are on the sea. The cake is so Big, there are too many people to eat, and it is not easy to earn. Jia Zhang has earned less than second-class meritorious service over the past ten years, which shows how difficult this military merit is.

"When do you plan to return to the army?" Jia Zhang returned to Beijing after being injured at sea. Considering that the Chinese New Year was approaching, he took advantage of the injury to stay at home for a few months until the injury healed. , He will still return to the army next year.

Jia She and Jia Zhang are currently serving in the army in the Rongfu. Jia Hu and Jia Zhu both passed the imperial examination, and Jia Lian is even more deviant. business.

Now Jia Zhang has completely abandoned his previous life, and he is running on the road of prosperity in this life. Anyway, the Jia family and even the whole Daqi have been changed by fakes. If the children and grandchildren don't live up to their expectations, if they can do it again, can they do it again indefinitely?

"After the Lantern Festival." Jia Zhang's expression was steady.

The grandparents and grandchildren discussed the government's decrees, discussed the construction of the army, and what areas needed to be strengthened.

Six days later, there was still a thin layer of snow on the ground, but the snow had almost melted in the past few days, and the weather became clearer.

Rongguo Mansion was full of joy from inside to outside. Yesterday Lin Hai and Jia Min returned to Beijing safely with their children, and today they went back to their natal home to visit their parents, so Rong Mansion simply held a grand family banquet, and married Jia Min Xuan, Jia Qi and the others also called back, making it more lively.

On the side of Rongqingtang, Yunyao sat at the head, her eyes were full of green and tender young girls. Among the girls who had not left the cabinet, the oldest one was of the same generation as Daiyu, Jia Fan, she was Jia She The only daughter with Zhang Yan, the second daughter of Rongfu, is now over 16 years old, and Rongfu is already looking at her marriage.The youngest is Jia Huang from Ningfu, she is the old daughter of Jia Jing and Xu, and she is also very much loved.

The others are the daughters of Jia Xuan, Jia Man and others. Although the daughters of Jia Xuan and Jia Wei are older than Jia Qi, they are younger. The youngest of the same generation are the daughters of Jia Lian and Jia Zhu.

Granddaughters, granddaughters, grandnieces, great-granddaughters, um, all these girls are gathered together, and all the girls are beautiful, regardless of their seniority, just their age, it can be said that they compete for beauty!

Sure enough, Fairy is the one with the most unforgettable appearance and temperament. Looking at Daiyu, Yunyao thought that the little girl was so beautiful. She wondered how much of a commotion this would cause in the capital after returning to Beijing. Fortunately, Jia Daishan is still alive, otherwise she would be really afraid that the royal family would snatch her away with her appearance.

After the family banquet in the Rong Mansion, Lin Hai officially returned to work in the Ministry of Officials. He took over as Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Many officials in the court stared at this position, but this position fell on Lin Hai's head, which is really puzzling.

Soon, Daiyu became famous among many noble girls in Beijing. With her outstanding appearance and talent, Jia Daishan was able to protect her granddaughter, so she didn't think about keeping her granddaughter in the boudoir. She should live here freely. Under the blue sky.

In the seventh year of Yuanhua, there was an astonishing news from the palace. Of course, this news was only for Yunyao, and in the eyes of others, it was insignificant.

Emperor Yuanhua canonized a concubine, a daughter of the Xue family from Jinling, and named her Concubine Li. When Yunyao knew that this person was Xue Baochai, she was a little surprised.

This is the second time Yunyao has heard about Xue Baochai. Back then, the Wang family did not marry the Jia family, but married the Xue family. Bawang Xue and Xue Baochai were still born.That stone, originally Yunyao thought he would still be born in Jia's family, even Jia Daishan had thought of dozens of ways to mobilize/teach his grandson, but when his grandson was due to be born, he found that his grandson had become someone else's family o( ╯□╰)o.

Well, Shitou followed Dawang, and Dawang married into the Zhen family and became Zhen Yingjia's first wife. When Shitou was supposed to be born, Dawang gave birth to a pair of twin sons, which made the Zhen family very happy. Incredible.

Has Xue Baochai achieved the goal of "good wind sends me to Qingyun with strength"?Later, news from the palace continued to spread that Concubine Xue Li was quite favored by Emperor Yuanhua and became the favorite concubine of a generation.

When children grow up, they should fly freely.

That year, Daiyu married a man of considerable talent and reputation. A man of talent did not like the constraints of the officialdom. The letters came, followed by exquisite paintings, all of which were painted by Daiyu and her husband personally about the mountains and rivers they traveled.

"Look at other people, this is called traveling in the mountains and rivers, and they can leave so many paintings." Yun Yao couldn't help but sigh, when they traveled, they only occasionally painted a picture, unlike this young couple, they are simply Take talent and learning as the love of your life.

Jia Daishan looked left and right, and finally said after a long time: "Yaoyao, I don't seem to have painted a portrait of you before."

Yun Yao raised her eyebrows and heard him say: "Forget it, it's useless to draw."

The author has something to say: The next story is about a merchant girl in the next hall.
