Chapter 139 Jia Bu Jia

After receiving the message from the porter, Lin Ruhai and Jia didn't waste any time and ordered their servants to go to the back house to call out their son and daughter. The couple walked into the lobby hand in hand and saw a handsome young man sitting on a wooden chair, playing with the jade string in his hand.

This young master is also interesting. When he heard the news of his master coming, he turned his head and saw Lin Ruhai and Jia. Before the other party could speak, he said enthusiastically: "Aunt, uncle!"

"Lian'er." After a long absence, relatives reunited, and it was her own brother's child. Jia also called the junior emotionally, and with joy and complaint, she continued, "You child, why didn't you tell us before you came? Hey. You're not hiding it from your family and sneaking out to play, right?"

Jia Lian was already over 20 years old. He was no longer the brat he was when he got married. Hearing this, he laughed and said, "Aunt, you have wronged me this time. My nephew came here because he was entrusted by his family and came here specially." I’m here to say hello to my uncle and aunt.”

"Congratulations?!" Mrs. Jia's eyebrows moved when she heard this. She and Lin Ruhai looked at each other tacitly. The latter took Jia Lian's words and said, "Good boy, sit down first, sit down first."

The three of them sat down according to the rules again, and Lin Ruhai looked at the junior in front of him. Apart from other things, this legitimate son of the eldest family member of the Jia family is really handsome, with a face like a crown jewel and a pair of peach blossom eyes. On the red lips, sword eyebrows and starry eyes were added.

Lin Ruhai looked at such a romantic young master and said, "The Jia family is really impeccably outstanding in appearance."

The three chatted for a while, and then the topic turned to other things. Jia asked with a smile: "You kid, as soon as you see your uncle, you say you want to congratulate your uncle. I wonder where the joy you mentioned comes from?"

"Hi." Jia Lian's reply was also very interesting. He waved his light blue sleeves and reported to his aunt: "My aunt still wants to hide it from my nephew! Wasn't my uncle promoted to the magistrate of Yangzhou? When the family got the letter, they ordered people to prepare a gift list. I want to come to Yangzhou. It was a good job, so I took it from the old lady."

Jia Lian said it casually, but Lin Ruhai heard it differently. His two brothers-in-law and brothers had done nothing in court, so how could they have such well-informed information channels?

Besides, it has only been seven or eight days since the imperial decree was issued. Even if you set off as soon as you heard the news, you should still be on the way. Lin Ruhai suppressed the thoughts in her heart and only comforted the other party, "The old lady at home is thinking about you. Lian'er, you have worked hard all the way here."

Seeing her husband pretending to attack, Jia became the main attacker. Without waiting for Jia Lian to speak, she smiled and spread her hands, "Bring the gift list to your aunt first. If you lose something later, don't say that your aunt won't help you." Conceal it.”

"Auntie still treats me as a child." Jia Lian chuckled, took out a gift list from his arms, and handed it to his aunt, "I am also a father now, and I am very steady in my work now."

"But you are obviously capable. You must be really stable to be considered a good man." Mrs. Jia nodded at the boy, then took the gift list from the servant's hand, spread it out and looked at it several times, then smiled at Lin Ruhai. , "Look, sir, the eldest brother and the second brother have put a lot of thought into choosing these things for you."

Ruyu's white fingers landed somewhere on the gift list. Lin Ruhai took a look and saw that between the names of the two uncles, there was the word Wang Ziteng.

The gift list is also interesting. The left side is Rongguo Mansion and the right side is Ningguo Mansion. On a page of Rongguo Mansion, the names of Jia She, Wang Ziteng, and Jia Zheng are listed horizontally.

There were rows of congratulatory gifts written under the names of the three of them, among which it was Wang Ziteng who had the longest number of congratulatory gifts.

Looking from a distance, one can see the word "mountain".

Lin Ruhai nodded calmly, looked at Jia Lian again, and felt that the other person had become interesting.

You know why, it turns out that this is Jia Lian's wife, and she is also the daughter of Wang Xifeng, Wang Ziteng's niece.

In this way, the legitimate son of the first house married a daughter of the Wang family, and the mistress of the second house was also a daughter of the Wang family.

Really, really, I can only comment and have nothing to say.

If things continue like this, will the Jia family still be the same Jia family? Just change your surname to Wang.

In other words, Jia has been following Lin Ruhai for a long time, and has become very good at self-cultivation. Otherwise, given her early temper, she might have to lose her temper on the spot.

Thinking that the two of them were discussing Wang Ziteng before, she knew that Fa's wife must be feeling angry. Lin Ruhai consciously took over the conversation, and he chatted with Jia Lian about home affairs for a while.

Jia Lian was also an official, but he was just a donated fifth-grade Tongzhi. It sounds nicer to say it, but if you really want to go out, even the seventh-grade county magistrate may not show off your face.

The person in front of Jia Lian was the fourth-rank magistrate of the imperial court, and he was in charge of Yangzhou Prefecture, one of the best in the world. How could Jia Lian bear Lin Ruhai's official power at will?

It is said that a man cannot be without power for a day. Lin Ruhai's seemingly friendly words and deeds made it difficult for Jia Lian to deal with it. That is to say, with the Jia family's tutoring background, Jia Lian can still take care of everything and speak in a decent manner.

While they were talking, a servant led the young master in. When Daiyu and Lin Jue met their cousin for the first time, they were not unfamiliar with the stage. The two parties exchanged their names with a smile, and Jia Lian took out the gift he had prepared early and handed it to his younger brother and sister.

The two children did not dare to accept it for a moment. They only raised their eyes to look at their mother. When Jia nodded, they accepted the gift from their cousin. Jia Lian saw it and couldn't help but said: "Auntie, you taught your younger brothers and sisters very well. They are all belonging to the same family, and I have to come and ask you what you mean."

"No matter how good the teaching is, what's the point? In the end, it's just making wedding clothes for other people." Jia was holding her breath in her heart and couldn't help but speak sharply.

It's bad, Lin Daiyu secretly said in her heart, why is my mother suddenly in a bad mood? Could it be that this cousin made her angry?

Jia Lian just thought that Jia was joking with him and continued to laugh: "Aunt, you are reluctant to leave my cousin now? Then why not keep my cousin by your side, it's also very good."

"You, you." Jia shook her head helplessly, "Don't talk too much in front of your sister."

"Are you hungry all the way here? I have asked someone to go down and heat up the dishes. You can have a good chat with your uncle later."

"It's okay to eat." Jia Lian spread his hands and said very honestly, "But I don't know why I still feel a little nervous when chatting with my uncle. I don't know if it's because my uncle's official power is too heavy. Hey, let's save this chat."

The two adults laughed at the younger generation's funny remarks. Daiyu saw that the atmosphere was getting more harmonious, and she looked at Jia's face again, and then she felt relieved.

Turning around, the family sat at the table. Jia Lian is eloquent and often walks around.

What he saw and heard along the way made Daiyu and Lin Jue's eyebrows move secretly, and they were very yearning in their hearts.

During this period, Jia Lian also talked about some interesting things about Daiyu's childhood. She was born in the capital, and when she was one or two years old, she was often taken back to her mother's home by Jia to accompany the old lady. It was not until Lin Jue was born that she followed her father to Yangzhou.

But Daiyu was young at that time and had no impression of this matter at all.

The relatives had dinner happily, and the servants led Jia Lian to the guest room.

…………

…………

When Jia Lian arrived in Yangzhou, he would definitely be kept by the Lin family for a few more days. It happened that the time was not far from the New Year's Eve, and there was a grand event in Yangzhou City that day. Jia decided to let him stay until the New Year's Eve was over, and then take the official ship back to the capital.

This was exactly what Jia Lian wanted. The tigress in his house usually controlled him too much. This time, he finally got some free time, so he naturally wanted to have a good time in Yangzhou.

You know, this is Yangzhou City. For a "wanderer" like him, it is a place he likes more than Suzhou and Hangzhou.

Unfortunately, he was very careful in his calculations, but when he went out to play the next day, he felt a little distressed.

Now he is staying at his aunt's house, it's not good to go back with a smell of rouge.

After all, Jia Erye is an adult who knows the importance of things. After staying for a few days, he only dared to go to some elegant brothels. He only listened to music and drank, and didn't dare to do anything else.

It really made people angry, and wasted the joy of coming to Yangzhou.

It was not until the day of the New Year's Eve that Jia Lian followed the Lin family on a carriage to the City God Temple.

The ancients attached great importance to sacrifices. This year is another disaster year, and everyone hopes that the next year will be a good year. As the new prefect, Lin Ruhai must do something to stabilize the people's hearts.

Under the escort of the government officials, the prefect's carriage did not stop until it reached the City God Temple.

There were already many people standing here. The government officials who arrived one step ahead saw the prefect's carriage and hurried up to greet him.

Lin Ruhai, who got off the carriage, smiled and comforted everyone, and then headed towards the City God Temple surrounded by the crowd.

This treatment of being treated like a star really made Jia Lian dazzled. Although Rongguo Mansion is famous in the capital, there are many powerful people in the capital. Your family has a deceased duke, but our family is still an authentic royal prince.

These are fine. If you encounter a few Shangshu and prime ministers on the way back, even the prince will have to think about whether to bump into them directly.

There is no way, civil officials govern the country and have power in their hands. If you have the ability, don't ask them for your children's future.

A group of officials brought their families into the City God Temple. The road outside was not blocked or locked, and ordinary people were allowed to worship and pray. Only a few officers were left at the main gate to guard and temporarily persuade the people who wanted to come in.

When Chen Gaishan led his family to the City God Temple, he heard that the officials of Yangzhou government were there. He couldn't help but turned back and said to his family: "It's bad luck. I wanted to take you to see the lantern festival, but this happened."

"It's okay, grandpa, we can just go shopping on our own." Chen Heng comforted the old man. He knew that according to Uncle Lin's temper, he would not want to disturb the people too much today, and the officers nearby would definitely not stay long.

Hahahahaha, this chapter came early today, all because of the urging of the book friends in the group.
